Package: wnpp Severity: normal Hello,
I am requesting an an adopter for the ilmbase and openexr packages. I myself adopted this because it's needed for hugin but this needs somebody with better C++ foo than me. Debian is several upstream versions behind, which is caused among other things because upstream develops on on AMD64 and it looks like no testing on other archs (like e.g. ix86) is done. Experimental has 1.0.3 which has a test-failure on ix86 (it is supposed to be fixed by disabling optimization.) 2.0.1 has recently been released and I am not convinced the dynamic libraries are set up correctly there. Upstream is mixing libtool's -release with -version-info and ends up with: lrwxrwxrwx 1 libIlmThread-2_0.so.10 -> libIlmThread-2_0.so.10.0.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 libIlmThread-2_0.so.10.0.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 libIlmThread.so -> libIlmThread-2_0.so.10.0.1 I think there shouldn't be any libIlmThread.so here, but only a libIlmThread-2_0.so. Anyway I am not totally ssure this is broken but it might need fixing and making upstream understand. thanks, cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
