Public bug reported: The DPC++ compiler is a LLVM-based compiler project that implements compiler and runtime support for the SYCL* language.
There is already an existing source package (intel-dpcpp [1]) that ships version 6.2.0 of the compiler in Ubuntu 26.04 and 26.10; however, Intel recently released version 7.0.0 of the compiler. For consistency with other compiler stacks in Ubuntu (e.g. gcc, vanilla LLVM/Clang), this new source package will introduce a new major version of DPC++ in Ubuntu. Note this is technically feasible and planned as the intel-dpcpp packaging for intel-dpcpp in 26.04 and 26.10 includes -6 appended in binary package names (e.g. dpclang-6) to support co-installation of multiple major versions. A small fix for supporting unversioned symlinks is being prepared for 26.10 [3].
