Dear Maintainer,
the upstream development of Astropy includes tests of Astropy for
several non-standard architectures, including s390x and ppc64el. One
major reason to support these architectures is to support Debian's
multiplatform approach.
Astropy has Numpy as a dependency, and since Numpy upstream does not
provide wheels for non-standard platforms, they are going to use Debian
(resp. Ubuntu) packages here.
For the upcoming Astropy 6.0 release, the version requirements of Numpy
have been raised to 1.25; so they can't use the current Numpy
Debian/Ubuntu packages anymore.
Therefore, I would ask whether Numpy could be updated in the next time?
I could then backport this to the Debian/Ubuntu version that is used in
the testing and provide it to Astropy. The update is also required for
uploading Astropy 6.0, once it is ready (~December 2023).
The upstream issue for this topic is
https://github.com/astropy/astropy/issues/15351
Thank you very much for considering this!
Best
Ole
