Description:
ViennaCL provides high level C++ interfaces for linear algebra routines on CPUs
and GPUs using CUDA, OpenCL, and OpenMP. The focus is on generic implementations
of iterative solvers often used for large linear systems and simple integration
into existing projects.


Description of problem:
viennacl is an orphaned package that I want to adopt.

Comments:
a) Assume documentation is not packaged due to Javascript or fonts or size?
b) Why restrict builds to x86_64 ? It does not build on aarch64, but have not checked S390.
c) Should tests be enabled by default?
d) Previous version https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/viennacl/blob/f33/f/viennacl.spec included POCL only when testing,
why change this?
e) Previous version removed CL directory which is under Khronos license, may be good to do the same so it
is not accidentally installed and might cause a conflict.
f) The library seems to be header only with components in .hpp files. Should it be treated as static? See
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_packaging_header_only_libraries
g) In the spec file document that
