Bug#1028957: librocrand-dev: rocrand_INCLUDE_DIR does not exist



Hi Cordell,

Not sure it will help, but I suppose I could first bump the
rocrand package up to 5.2.3 to be consistent with the build
chain.  It should still be easy to do while we're not in the
next stage of the freeze on February 12th.

There is that, or packaging hipRAND in a side package.  Given
the affinity between the two, multi-upstream tarball may be the
most natural approach in this case.

For a regular package it would be possible to use git commit IDs
instead, but that leads to hard to read version numbers.  In the
case of MUT, strolling through the example from rocm-hipamd, I
see it may be necessary to restrict the version number of the
side tarball to be the same as the main source package.  So...
yes please?  :)

Have a nice day,  :)
