Bug#433132: Version 2 not compatible with 1.X
Hi Iacopo, El ds 14 de 07 del 2007 a les 20:15 +0200, en/na Iacopo Spalletti va escriure: Package: python-tables Version: 2.0-1 Severity: important --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Version 2 of pytables is not compatibile with 1.X, moreover, version 2 lacks (in free version) features 1.X has (like column indexing). In which sense version 2 is not compatible with 1.x? Due to this issues packages for both versions should be available in lenny. Keeping version 1.x in debian has the (grave) problem that it depends on numarray that, besides having known problems with 64-bit platforms, it is not being maintained anymore (the numarray makers are strongly encouraging people to migrate to NumPy [1]). So, I'm afraid that keeping PyTables 1.x series in lenny will only be a source of problems. Being said that, I'm ok if anybody would go ahead and be in charge of maintaining the 1.x series in debian (at his own responsability).

Bug#427562: [BINGO FOUND] Launches forkbomb on upgrade/install
Hi, I have been bitten by this bug too. However, appart of jadetex, I've had to desinstall xmltex as well (the symptoms were similar). After this, I've been able to install texlive-base-bin. I've installed jadetex and xmltex afterwards without problems. I thought it would be worth mentioning this. Cheers, -- Francesc Altet| Be careful about using the following code -- Carabos Coop.

Bug#423797: FTBFS: .. ERROR:: Can't find a local numarray Python installation.
A Dilluns 14 Maig 2007 11:21, Jérémy Bobbio escrigué: Package: pytables Version: 1.3.2-2 Severity: serious Justification: no longer builds from source Hi! pytables currently fails to build from source in sid [1]: --- 8 --- dh_testdir python2.5 setup.py --force-ucl build .. ERROR:: Can't find a local numarray Python installation. Please, read carefully the ``README`` file and remember that PyTables needs the numarray package to compile and run. make: *** [build-stamp-2.5] Error 1 --- 8 --- [1] http://people.debian.org/~lucas/logs/2007/05/13/pytables_1.3.2-2_sid32. buildlog Yeah, it seems that the problem is that there is not a numarray package for python 2.5 in debian sid (there is an explicit 'python ( 2.5)' in package dependencies). I'm not sure why, but it might be due to the fact that numarray w/ python2.5 is not safe in 64-bit platforms. This should be fixed by requiring 'python ( 2.5)' in the pytables package. Anyway, PyTables 2.0 is around the corner and it gets rid of the numarray dependency (it depends on NumPy instead), so it shouldn't have any problem with python2.5 in 64-bit platforms. Hence, perhaps it would be wiser to wait until PyTables 2.0 arrives in order to provide a better solution to this issue. Cheers, -- 0,0 Francesc Altet http://www.carabos.com/ V V Cárabos Coop. V.

Bug#375691: python-tables: Please upload version 1.3.2
A Dimarts 27 Juny 2006 18:09, Alexandre Fayolle va escriure: Package: python-tables Severity: wishlist Hi, Could you please consider uploading pytables-1.3.2 ? I can't because I'm a poor mantainer, not a developer. Anyway, based on your NMU, I've created new debian packages for 1.3.2. These are available at: http://www.pytables.org/download/debian/ Could you please upload them into debian repository? BTW, if you want to be a pytables package mantainer, tell me...

Bug#374799: python2.3-tables: has versioned dependency on virtual package python2.3-numarray
Hi Alexandre, I'm aware of this problem, but the fix is not so easy because I should transition the pytables packge to adopt the new Python policy: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPython/NewPolicy I've tried to do this yesterday with the new 1.3.2 pytables version, but not completely succeeded. So, as I'm a bit busy lately, I'll probably ask for a NMU version until I can get the package properly transitioned. Cheers, A Dimecres 21 Juny 2006 12:43, Alexandre Fayolle va escriure: Package: python2.3-tables Severity: serious Tags: patch Justification: Policy 7.2 Hi, python2.3-tables is uninstallable on a sid distribution, because it depends on python2.3-numarray (= 1.5). With the new python policy, python2.3-numarray is a virtual package provided by python-numarray. A simple fix is the change the dependency in the control file to python-numarray (=1.5.1-4) for python2.3-tables and python2.4-tables.

Hi Steve, A Divendres 16 Setembre 2005 09:53, Steve Langasek va escriure: Looking over your package, I see that you've updated the build-dependencies of pytables from debhelper (= 4.2.30) to debhelper (= 4.9.3). Can you explain why? Oh, for nothing in special. It's just that I normally check the latest debhelper version available in my Debian Sid, and put its version there. Is that a bad policy?

Bug#328199: pytables: rebuild required for hdf5 migration
Hi Russ, I'm the maintainer of the package, but I'm not a developer. Normally, I package pytables and who used to be my sponsor (Daniel Bungert) upload it to the Debian repository. However, Daniel seems to be very busy lately (in fact, he said me that he was about to leave his developer position at debian) and despite I'd like to become a Debian developer, I don't like bureaucracy ;). So I'm afraid that my ideal position would be remaining a maintainer and find another sponsor. Another solution would be to find a developer wanting to take in charge of the package. Meanwhile, updated versions of pytables for Debian are accessible at: http://pytables.sourceforge.net/Debian/ In addition, I'm going to subscribe the mentors.debian.net service in order to make the package more broadly accessible. Cheers, A Dimecres 14 Setembre 2005 07:14, Russ Allbery va escriure: Package: pytables Severity: serious Tags: patch Justification: Policy 2.2.1 The current pytables packages depend on hdf5 1.6.2, which has been replaced by hdf5 1.6.4. In order to complete the hdf5 transition, pytables must be rebuilt against the current libraries. No changes to the source package should be required; all that should be needed is a new upload to force a rebuild. Please try to do this soon, as the hdf5 (and lam and mpich) transition has gotten rather complex.
