Hi,
I did some testing, and I can't build the packages in any way with libmetis or
libparmetis, but if I remove it from the build-deps I can make the packages.
I propose to disable it for the moment and focus on getting a working and
lintian-clean package; then we can think about what to do with metis and also
work to build multiple versions.
Regarding the build system/repository layout, it seems ok to me:
git-buildpackage fails to me for reasons related to metis and not because of
the layout of the repository.
When I was working on the package, I've found that the best way to build (but
not the easiest) is to use git-buildpackage+cowbuilder, in a command like this:
$ git-buildpackage --git-builder="pdebuild --pbuilder cowbuilder --buildresult
.." --git-ignore-new --git-ignore-branch &> ../build.log
This will build the packages in a pristine environment, and the closest you can
get from the buildd environment. You can look at
https://wiki.debian.org/cowbuilder for infos on cowbuilder.
Feel free to ask if you have doubts or problems with the compilation or other,
I'll be glad to help if I can :)
Bye
Andrea

libmetis. However, I actually had troubles during build
