Hi, I did some testing, and I can't build the packages in any way with libmetis or libparmetis, but if I remove it from the build-deps I can make the packages.
I propose to disable it for the moment and focus on getting a working and lintian-clean package; then we can think about what to do with metis and also work to build multiple versions. Regarding the build system/repository layout, it seems ok to me: git-buildpackage fails to me for reasons related to metis and not because of the layout of the repository. When I was working on the package, I've found that the best way to build (but not the easiest) is to use git-buildpackage+cowbuilder, in a command like this: $ git-buildpackage --git-builder="pdebuild --pbuilder cowbuilder --buildresult .." --git-ignore-new --git-ignore-branch &> ../build.log This will build the packages in a pristine environment, and the closest you can get from the buildd environment. You can look at https://wiki.debian.org/cowbuilder for infos on cowbuilder. Feel free to ask if you have doubts or problems with the compilation or other, I'll be glad to help if I can :) Bye Andrea Il Martedì 18 Marzo 2014 9:57, trophime <christophe.troph...@lncmi.cnrs.fr> ha scritto: On Tue, 2014-03-18 at 08:38 +0100, Denis Laxalde wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Andrea Palazzi a écrit : >> > - I'd really prefer to remove the libmetis dependency and keep it in >> > main and not in contrib; after all libmetis is not absolutely required ( >> > the patch no_metis_default.diff was there to change the default >> > renumerator from metis to md ) , and I think that packages in contrib >> > are out of the auto-builder circuit.
