[I've dropped rafael@d.o from CC as that just bounced for me last time] On Mon, Sep 08, 2014 at 11:20:45AM +0200, Thibaut Paumard wrote: I have had to withdraw due to unexpected events. The package in mentors does not build anymore (I should check about the package in unstable, no time right now), due to the hdf5 transition. I've told Andrew last week about this. According to #736392, plplot FTBFS in unstable for other reasons. This can be fixed by removing the bits that check for hdf5.h in cmake/modules/octave.cmake (see attached patch) and adding the right flags to CPPFLAGS in debian/rules: CPPFLAGS = $(shell dpkg-buildflags --get CPPFLAGS) \ $(shell mkoctfile -p INCFLAGS) Of course, there must be a less brutal solution. Looks like you failed to attach that patch (something I know from experience is all too easy to do). I'm also considering uploading myself, but unless Andrew fixes this FTBFS, this will have to be half sponsoring, half NMUing. It'd be really great to get an upload soon, so there's time before the freeze to shake out any new issues - if Andrew's actively on the case, that's great, but if he's currently too busy, an NMU is clearly justified by the 5 RC bugs (+1 if the hdf5 FTBFS were filed) it would fix. Any comments from Andrew on the hdf5 fix would certainly be appreciated though. I'm happy to sponsor or NMU if nobody more connected to the package is able to.

Andrew, if you wish I can send you my changes so that you can review them. I will then be happy to sponsor your upload. I think this would really be a good idea to put plplot in team maintenance. You are doing a great job with this complex package, but it would have been uploaded weeks ago if it had been officially maintained within the science team for, for instance. You would still be the main uploader for the package, but that would unable people to more easily give you a hand rather a hint when it comes to fixing fairly simple RC bugs.

Hi Thibaut, Thibaut Paumard wrote: I'd rather sponsor a package you would have prepared, but failing that How did you fail that? I reviewed his package at https://mentors.debian.net/package/plplot and IIRC the only main issues left were the upstream inclusion of prebuilt javascript files (jquery et al). There are multiple ways to mitigate this. At least the jquery issue is seen very differently under Debian developers. I'm though likely not able to sponsor the (fixed or workarounded) package the next few days as I'm currently travelling. So feel free to sponsor it, if you have time. I'd be happy about it. I can forward you my findings this evening, if preferred. I'd take care of the next GDL upload then in a few days.

I reviewed his package at https://mentors.debian.net/package/plplot Thanks for pointing this out. I missed it because - plplot does not appear on the front-page of mentors, - there is no bug againsts the sponsorship-request pseudo package, - and no mention of this upload in this bug report (740085). I figured that was enough places to look for an information that should have been directed to me directly, who explicitly offered help and asked whether there was a plan.

I can sponsor your upload, if your usual sponsor is not available. Kind regards, Thibaut. By the way, I have tried building 5.10.0 using the debian directory in the upstream svn repository. It is not straight-forward. For instance, the patches need to be updated. In addition, if I was reviewing this package from this first quick look, I would request that you merge the unreleased changelog entries, version the swig build-dependency, update the Policy field, and update the changelog (with appropriate Closes: directives).

Bug#740085: package plplot 5.10.0
The debian directory in the upstream svn repository has been updated (by me) to work with 5.10.0. This includes a number of other fixes I'd been working on which haven't yet made it into the official Debian packages. With my latest set of patches to the octave examples are scripts 5.9.10 now builds + passes all the tests with 5.9.10 BUT it does require swig 2.0.12 which is not yet available in sid. If you copy this debian directory to a stock 5.10.0 tree it should build once swig becomes available. There is an open bug against swig for this. Note: I am the package maintainer, but not a DD so I'd appreciate any help with get the packages uploaded once swig is available.
