Package: cython Severity: normal Hi,
there is some evidence that cython from testing/unstable as well as from experimental (!) generates code which does not compile when using gcc-4.7. I have no idea whether packages in Wheezy might be affected - I guess autobuild-test would have unrevealed this, but it seems it is not a specific issue of the software which I asked for help at debian-mentors list. To get the full story it is advisable to read this mail: Help needed in gcc-4.7 - cython issue: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2012/07/msg00408.html In the response[0] Sebastian Ramacher <sebast...@ramacher.at> said: As it seems, the fix has been merged after the 0.16 release. The patch to solve this in cython can be found at [1]. Until this is fixed one can try to add spaces between PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T and the quotation marks in the file generated by cython. [1] https://github.com/cython/cython/pull/109 So it would be nice if you might consider an upload - at least to experimental - featuring the patch which would enable building this project using gcc-4.7. In case you have different plans because no other released package is affected by this problem please let me know some estimated time until you consider fixing the problem. If it might take longer than say about 1 month I would consider releasing the packagin question for the moment without Cython support or explicitely forcing gcc-4.6. Kind regards and thanks for maintaining Cython Andreas.
