Package: pvm
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

pvm build-depends on g77, which has been dropped from gcc suite
after gcc 3.4. As pvm uses g77 merely to compile example files,
migration is painless and doesn't affect other packages depending
on pvm. See http://wiki.debian.org/GfortranTransition for
more details on the transition, although it doesn't really affect
pvm.
