Hi, This is about the update of the getfem package to the new upstream version 5.4. I would like to discuss the following points:
1) Renaming the produced binary packages. To follow the updated naming preferences of upstream debian could: - rename libgetfem5++ to libgetfem5 - rename python3-getfem++ to python3-getfem - probably rename libgetfem++-dev to libgetfem-dev - maintain the name libgmm++-dev The reason for the renaming upstream is that only the gmm++ part of the library is strictly a C++ one. Since the getfem library has different scripting interfaces it was a bit misleading to have ++ in the name. [ http://getfem.org/] I guess the transition package method has to be used for such a renaming [ https://wiki.debian.org/RenamingPackages]. 2) The new upstream package incorporates an interface to GNU/Octave which can be built with the --enable-octave configure option and octave as an additional build dependency. I suggest packaging the new interface into a new binary package with the name octave-getfem, generated from the same source package. 3) Closed bugs/redundant patches with the new upstream version 5.4: - closes debian #702370 <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=702370> - supersedes debian/patches/fix_blas_interface.patch - supersedes debian/patches/drop_python2.patch - supersedes debian/patches/fix_python3_tests_4fe9963c.patch - supersedes debian/patches/fix_python3_tests_8dcd729f.patch Best regards Kostas
