Package: python-matplotlib
Version: 0.87.7-0.1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
As of 0.87.7-0.1, matplotlib on ppc, mipsel, mips, arm, sparc, s390,
alpha built against the numpy rc and therefore failed to build the numpy
extensions.
20:53 < mhy> hi, there's a problem with python-matplotlib. Those architectures
(most: ppc, mipsel, mips, arm, sparc, s390, alpha) which tried to
build against python-numpy 1.0rc* failed to build the numpy
extensions and
is therefore pretty useless; a binNMU will fix it (tested
rebuilding on
PPC here); do I need to file a bug / mail debian-release to
get one done?
20:53 < waldi> mhy: the build failed silent?
20:53 < mhy> waldi: yes (not my package...)
20:54 < mhy> waldi: it's valid for upstream matplotlib to only build the
numeric or
numarray extensions; I'd have thought the debian packaging should
check
that all three have been built though
20:55 < mhy> especially as numpy is the default, and hence it breaks by default
20:58 < vorlon> mhy: yes, that should get a sourceful bugfix for the problem of
the silent
failure
20:59 < mhy> vorlon: right, I'll file a bug and try and work up a patch (a
manifest check
or something)
Patch is attached which checks for failure of any of the three modules
to build.
I intend to ask someone to NMU this in a couple of days if this isn't
fixed by then as I really need a fixed matplotlib in etch.
Thanks,
Mark
