Package: mpfr Severity: wishlist Tags: experimental the mpfr dependency libgmp recently got a new version (5.0), which has a new soversion, which is reflected in a new package name libgmp10 (instead of libgmp3).
i've built mpfr with the new version (Build-Depends changed to the
lib{,32}gmp10-dev without further version, -dev's Depends changed to
libgmp10-dev, libmpfr4's explicit dependency on libgmp3c2 dropped
although i'm not sure what it was supposed to do), and it seems to work
(it built, and packages built from it worked).
having such packages in experimental is required for building packages
which themselves depend on the 5.0 version of gmp (like openscad from
#583476), but to me it is -- now that i've built my own -- not too
important any more (as far as the itp is concerned, i'll have to wait
for libgmp10 to go into unstable anyway). so if you think it's not worth
it, just take this bug report as a reminder of the upcoming libgmp10
version and a note that the transition seems to be painless on the mpfr
side.
