Sorry about the long period between updates; I caught a cold last weekend andn that sapped my energy for a while.
Unfortunately, more things are getting caught up in this transition than I was hoping, not because of the library package changing names, but because of mpich disappearing and being replaced by mpich-bin. But that's okay; we're making progress. The following are done and ready to migrate with mpich: Source: blacs-mpi Source: hdf5 Source: illuminator Source: mpich Source: petsc Source: scalapack Source: parmetis (non-free) The following packages still depend on libmpich1.0: Source: netpipe The following packages don't depend on the library, but they do depend on the mpich package which has been removed: Source: warped We can safely ignore warped for this purpose, since it's not in testing. This means that we're down to netpipe which needs a maintainer upload or NMU. However, there is one catch. hdf5 also got pulled into this migration due to its dependency on the mpich package. This has already been fixed in the version in unstable, but that means that hdf5's dependencies will all also have to be ready to go. That, unfortunately, pulls in a ton of other packages. Here's the full list that have not yet been transitioned. Package: kmatplot Package: octave-plplot Package: octave-sp Package: octave-statdataml Package: python2.2-tables Package: python2.3-tables Package: python2.4-tables Package: r-cran-hdf5 Package: octave-gpc (contrib) This corresponds to the following source packages: Source: kmatplot Source: plplot Source: pytables Source: r-cran-hdf5 Source: semidef-oct Source: statdataml Source: octave-gpc (contrib) In addition, these: Source: mpb Source: tessa have already been transitioned and are ready to go. I haven't gone back to look at the build dependencies again yet. It looks like just tracking down the dependencies is going to be hard enough, given that hdf5 is involved. So, I think the next step is to start filing RC bugs against the packages depending on the old hdf5 libraries, asking them to rebuild against the current ones. The following packages are not in testing, so can be ignored for the purposes of this transition (although still need RC bugs filed if they don't already have any): Source: kmatplot Source: plplot The rest are all in testing and will need to migrate at the same time as mpich and hdf5. Thankfully, no source changes should be required as near as I can tell for the hdf5 transition; a new upload to force a rebuild should be sufficient. Unless anyone yells that I'm on the wrong track, I'm going to start filing the above-mentioned RC bugs against the packages depending on the old hdf5 libraries. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
