Details

Description:
RustiCL is now totally working OpenCL implementation but since Clover
Has been broken for years, it breaks applications that are actually using
OpenCL, since ICD still tries to load it.
Currently to use RustiCL you would need to go to ICD folder and delete
mesa.icd file

Additional info:
* package version(s): 23.1.1
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

I would make opencl-mesa as a subpackage, that installs opencl-mesa-clover and opencl-mesa-rusticl. this way there is no backwards compatibility issues

Steps to reproduce:

1. install opencl-mesa package
2. try to use luxmark (Will never start, because it tries to use clover, that simply does not work)
3. delete mesa.icd from OpenCL /etc/OpenCL/vendors
4. now use luxmark (Will work perfectly)
This task depends upon

Please test mesa-23.1.3-2 in testing - with opencl-clover-mesa and opencl-rusticl-mesa packages

Seems to work, But I still think meta-package for mesa-opencl should be added

No, because sooner or later, clover package will be removed
