Re: Code aster changelog
Dear Andrea, A quick note about python dependencies: I would be nice also if you could detail the reason behind: Builds only against python2.6 To summarize, ATM there are issues (still uninvestigated) when building with 2.7, so we agreed to make it build only against 2.6 to have a working package forn now, and work to fix this issue later. Maybe a line like builds only against python2.6 due to unresolved issues with python2.7 is better? python 2.6 will be removed from unstable as soon as we can after 2.7 is default (in the words of one of the python maintainers). This is likely to be done on the few weeks timescale rather than few months (although these sorts of python transitions do have a habit of taking a bit longer than everyone plans). Adding another thing that requires python 2.6 won't help this process; it might not necessarily hinder it either, but then you'd get an RC- buggy package straight away. Perhaps spending the time to work out what's wrong with the package under python 2.7 prior to upload would be better. The guys in #debian-python on irc.oftc.net (irc.debian.org) don't bite :) cheers Stuart -- Stuart Prescott--www.nanonanonano.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-science-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: gmsh and libscotchmetis
Hi, Adam! Sounds good, thanks. I notice you also added the interfaces you need for gmsh to Bug 506033, thanks. Ok, done. For Elmer, I noticed that it could do node-wise or element-wise partitioning, and just disabled the element-wise partitioning which used METIS_PartMesh* functions. Is it possible to do something similar for gmsh? I just shortly looked at the code, but it seems, that the functionality of metis-module will be seriously restricted, if those 2 functions will be disabled.

Re: gmsh and libscotchmetis
Just a guess, maybe we can contact metis upstream with the question of relicensing it under distributable license?

Anton Hi, last week I met gmsh guys They told me that they prefer to use metis instead of scotch because metis provides some multiconstraint partionning... It seems that scotch upstream has no plan to develop such features right now. So my feeling is that we shall disable metis support in the present version of gmsh or consider to make a gmsh-metis package which will goto to non-free as an alternative. This solution may be great as we can take full advantage of the latest gmsh developments.

Moreover, the RFP/ITP has started in january 2008, now it's june 2011 and we're still here... I think that it would be better to finalize the effort now that we're very close and then enhance the package, rather than postpone the upload to fix all the problems. This however is just my VH opinion, I'll follow the directions of people that knows the debian packaging process much more than me.

Anton Hi, I've contacted metis upstream to ask permission to place it on debian mirrors, and also asked him to consider a different license: he agreed to put the sources and binaries on debian mirrors, but didn't answer about the relicensing; and since it wasn't the first time he was asked for this, I'm guessing he's not interested in changing the license. Anyway, if someone wants to try, it won't do any harm.
