Request beignet upgrade to 1.2.1

[Halton Huo]

The latest beignet version is 1.2.1, avialable on https://cgit.freedesktop.org/beignet/ at 20161116. Any possible to upgrade beignet-opencl-icd and beignet-dev on this version on Ubuntu 16.04(xenial)?

The Ubuntu packages follow the Debian packages, for the most part, and the
1.2.1 bugfix release hasn't been packaged for Debian yet (a separate
wishlist bug exists there). I dimly remember that there was some talk about
a possible regression in that release, so I'm a bit wary of pushing ahead
of what the full-time maintainers do.

As a datapoint, version 1.2.1 adds support for the Intel Joule module (https://software.intel.com/en-us/iot/hardware/joule)

The Debian package of 1.2.1 is in Alioth awaiting sponsorship; once uploaded there it will automatically be imported to Ubuntu zesty (current development), but not existing releases.

This might work in 16.04, but has *not* been tested:

git clone https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-opencl/beignet.git
cd beignet
sudo apt-get install build-essential debhelper cmake libgl1-mesa-dri clang-3.8 libclang-3.8-dev llvm-3.8-dev ocl-icd-dev ocl-icd-opencl-dev pkg-config python3 libdrm-dev libxext-dev libxfixes-dev libx11-dev ikiwiki
#-d because clang-3.9 isn't available or needed in xenial
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -d
sudo dpkg -i beignet*.deb

I don't see any reported 1.2.0 -> 1.2.1 regressions on the upstream mailing list or bug tracker; I do see at least one 1.1 -> 1.2.0 regression, but zesty and Debian already have 1.2.0.

Ubuntu now has 1.3.x, so I guess that this bug can be closed.
