Motivation for this change

The build of opencl-info recently started failing because opencl-clhpp was
updated. The latest version of opencl-hpp does not ship the deprecated
cl.hpp header anymore.

ZHF: #97479

Things done

  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)

  • Built on platform(s)

    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions

  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)

  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"

  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)

  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)

  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date

  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

there's nothing nixos-specific in this, please upstream the changes so that it's in a better state

Created marchv/opencl-info#2. TBH not sure would it be merged upstream as opencl-info didn't see any updates for 6 years.

If opencl-info is unmaintained, we could also consider dropping it. We also have clinfo, which provides similar functionality and is maintained:

@danieldk ethash and ethminer depends on opencl-info, but also first builds well w/o opencl-info dependency and second marked as broken.

@danieldk ethash and ethminer depends on opencl-info

I wonder where any of the dependencies for ethash come from? It builds fine when removing all of the buildInputs, and the source code does not seem to contain any references to Boost or OpenCL.

Where are we with this then? This builds for me (non-nixos linux x86_64) and there are a number of reverse-dependencies stuck on it.

It doesn't seem that anything is going to happen upstream, so let's merge this with the patch. I have added a reference to the PR in the patch comment. If this is unmaintained, we should probably remove it at some point. clinfo is better anyway and maintained.

Result of nixpkgs-review pr 98054 1

1 package marked as broken and skipped:
  • ethminer
2 packages built:
  • ethash
  • opencl-info

Thanks @demyanrogozhin for fixing this derivation!

ethash: remove buildInputs
142a041 
When reviewing NixOS#98054, I noticed that this package has a bunch of
buildInputs that are unused. There are no references to OpenCL, mesa,
boost, cryptopp, or openmpi in the source code. The package compiles
fine with these buildInputs removed.
