I maintain the now-deprecated pure-Python “rocm-smi” package, and I’ve
looked a few times at packaging rocm_smi_lib[1] to replace it, but the
kinds of distro-friendliness issues you mention, e.g. [2][3], have so
far been more than I was willing to work around.
I was also partially dissuaded by a general sense (which may or may not
be accurate) that the main ROCm project’s issue tracker is dominated on
both the filing and the responding side by high-volume end-user support
questions, while the individual component projects have mostly technical
bug reports but don’t always seem to have anyone reliably looking at them.
I’m happy to collaborate on work in this area as I am able,
particularly—from a selfish perspective—if it leads to a maintainable
rocm_smi_lib without too many downstream hacks, or if it eventually
enables GPGPU in Darktable and/or BOINC without proprietary or
unpackaged software. I think a lot of people would be *very* excited
about that, if it is possible.

Full disclosure, I am both a Fedora packager and an employee at AMD.
To be clear, the following is not at all endorsed by my employer; my interest and use of Fedora is purely a personal hobby and I would like to keep it that way.
There has been a recent effort to step up Debian packaging of ROCm, and would like to see if anyone has some interest in expanding the Fedora ROCm packages.
I see there's a few packages already, and I'm hoping to help with some internal processes to make ROCm more distro friendly, such as better FHS compliance, clearer licensing, etc.
Anyone interested? I would be happy to try to help or review package requests :)
