[inkscape]: do not upgrade to libxml2-2.7.4-1

libxml2-2.7.4-1 which is available on test-update and rawhide seems to be broken preventing Inkscape to run. Should you attempt to dowgrade that package, make sure to downgrade packagekit, setroubleshoot and system-config-printer first, otherwise temporally remove them. Bug report has been submitted and hopefully should be fixed.

Testing Design Suite on Asus X550ZE

The reason of choosing an AMD powered laptop is for long term support i.e. the use of Vulkan API in future AMD GPU driver.

Using AMD RX Vega driver OpenCL on Fedora 29

The Raven Ridge APU is very capable processor to handle OpenCL inside some applications like Blender, Darktable and Gimp. Unfortunately, the current implementation from Mesa, clover, stuck to 1.3, is not supported. AMD released their driver 18.40 with OpenCL2.0+ targeting only Red Hat Enterprise Linux/Cent OS 6.10 and 7.5 in addition of Ubuntu LTS. The good new is the former rpm format can be used on Fedora. The graphical part of Raven Ridge is Vega 8, basically a cut-down of Vega56 or Vega64 meaning choosing either driver for RX Vega . The instruction is provided for extracting the rpm files but here is  some requirements for OpenCL: kernel-devel (provided by Fedora repository) amdgpu-dkms dkms libopencl-amdgpu-pro opencl-amdgpu-pro-icd Once done, applications needing OpenCL will automatically detect the driver located on /opt/amdgpu/lib64 . Blender will list as unknown AMD GPU and Darktable will enable it. OpenCL from official AMD driver enabled on Darktable Ra
