Package: python-matplotlib Severity: serious --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Hi, python-matplotlib needs to be rebuild against the latest python-numpy, because python-numpy finally switched to gfortran from g77. Currently, python-matplotlib and python-numpy don't even install together in sid, so I think it's a serious bug. I and Kumar offer fixing it, so I sent the following email to Vittorio two days ago: " Hi Vittorio, we need to fix matplotlib to work with the new python-numpy. Mostly Kumar did the hard work of fixing numpy to compile with the new gfortran based lapack. It would be nice, if matplotlib would be maintained in the DPMT http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonModulesTeam svn repositories, so that we can just fix the package and write you an email to review our changes and upload. One option is to add PythonModulesTeam among uploaders. Also - I am not a DD yet, but I am already a DM. Are you ok with adding the DM-Upload-Allowed field into the package and me among uploaders? So that we can just ping you, you will review the changes, say ok, and I can upload myself if you are busy. Another option, which imho is even better, is that DPMT will be the maintainer, and all of us in uploaders. That way, anyone from the DPMT is free to fix and upload a new revision, without seeking an approval. This strategy works well with all packages I comaintain (sympy, scipy, numpy, pyglet, petsc4py, ...). Let us know which option (if any) you like. Thanks, Ondrej " With no response so far. So I imported it to DPMT svn anyway, so that we can fix it soon: svn://svn.debian.org/svn/python-modules/packages/matplotlib/ I'll try to fix it with Kumar tomorrow. Hopefully the maintainers of python-matplotlib (CCed) will get back to us soon either approving our action, or offering a different solution. :) As I said in the email, if you don't want DPMT take over the package, no problem. I'll just use the above svn so that we can test this package easily with Kumar and then send you a patch, so that you can apply and upload.
