Dear buildd admins, I have an odd situation with the autobuild of gerris, failure in unstable but success in experimental, for almost the same code.
gerris uses mpi for parallelisation, so it build-depends on mpi-defaults-dev. mpi-defaults-dev is a generic mpi pseudopackage which depends on openmpi where available. Where openmpi is not available we have previously had it use lam4, but we are currently switching over to mpich2 instead. gerris in unstable has always failed to build on armel, mips, mipsel, s390 and sparc, where mpi-defaults-dev 0.6 uses lam rather than openmpi. The last failure (gerris 20110329-dfsg.2-1) was logged in April, see https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=gerris. The symptom of the build failure was: > /bin/bash ../libtool --silent --tag=CC --mode=compile mpicc > -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../../src -I.. -I../../.. -I/usr/include > -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\"Gfs\" -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include > -I/usr/include -DGFS_MODULES_DIR=\"/usr/lib/gerris\" -DFTT_2D=1 -g -O2 > -Wall -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -Wmissing-prototypes > -Wmissing-declarations -pipe -std=c99 -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -c -o > libgfs2D_la-utils.lo `test -f 'utils.c' || echo '../../../src/'`utils.c > ../../../src/utils.c: In function 'compile': > ../../../src/utils.c:557: error: expected ')' before 'MODULES_FLAGS' > ../../../src/utils.c:558: warning: too few arguments for format > mpicc: No such file or directory which only occurred alongside lam, not on the openmpi arches. I assumed the build failure would be fixed with the switch to mpich2 (with mpi-defaults-dev 1.0 currently in experimental). I uploaded a test version of gerris to experimental to check, but the results are odd. The buildds on your arches are not yet using mpi-defaults-dev 1.0 with mpich2, they're still using mpi-defaults-dev 0.6 with lam4. Nevertheless, the build proceeded successfully using lam. The lam version is the same, 7.1.2-2. The code in gerris was not changed. It's not clear to me why the build failure with lam in unstable is no longer occurring in experimental. So I thought it would be appropriate to ask if you can trigger a new build attempt for gerris in unstable (20110329-dfsg.2-1), for armel, mips, mipsel, s390 and sparc. Or if you have any other ideas for what the difference in build success might be, then let us know! Thanks, Drew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
