Hi all, There does not seem to have been any further reply on this thread?
Gregor says 'In Debian all tests [0] pass’ However, if you drill down in to the logs you can see they are not being run correctly Sample below (e.g. https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libpgplot-perl&arch=ia64&ver=1%3A2.24-1%2Bb2&stamp=1604918369&raw=0<https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libpgplot-perl&arch=ia64&ver=1:2.24-1+b2&stamp=1604918369&raw=0> ) The original Caltech pgplot is old software but works fine and is required by a lot of astronomy software. Seems to me we can have a debian package for it, and for giza-pgplot seperately? I note all the advantages of giza, and it can be the default. Would it make sense to create a debian package called ‘libpgplot-classic’ or something for ‘contrib'?
