Hello. Please help me quickly test some new versions of the following packages: pdflib, gnuplot, grace. The new versions are all in the unstable tree. It would be particularly useful to know that gnuplot-py, octave, and siag work correctly with the new version of gnuplot.
The change which was made was to only build static libraries for pdflib, and compile those into the other programs. This was done for licensing reasons, to enable us to distribute gnuplot and grace with our binary distribution. With this change, if I can get it pushed into stable quickly, we'll be in the following happy situation: every package which is in the binary distribution only depends on packages which are *also* in the binary distribution. No more user complaints that octave or pdftex can't be installed because of some silly missing thing from the bindist. Some of our Restrictive/Distributable packages will still have Build dependencies which can't be distributed, but they'll have no actual dependencies. When the rush of getting the bindist out is over, I'll be proposing this as a policy to be followed in the future, for all of our packages: if you package depends on a Restrictive pacakge, then your package mujst also be labelled as Restrictive. But let's not debate that now! Please, instead, help me test these few and let me know your results.
