Bug#888712: netgen: Please update to newest package version 6.2.x

[Kurt Kremitzki]

Upstream has tagged 6.2.1802. I have a package for this ready, but it 
depends on my OCCT 7.2 package. Also, the Python bindings for 6.2.1802 
depend on pybind11 >= 2.2 which is only in experimental currently.

They are making (monthly) releases, it's just that they're not tagging
them properly in the github.com/ngsolve/netgen repository--the tags are
instead in github.com/ngsolve/ngsolve using ngsolve/netgen as a git
submodule, so for example one can do:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/ngsolve/ngsolve -b v6.2.1801
cd external_dependencies/netgen

to get at the proper commit(s), as well. Is that acceptable? The main
reason I wrote 6.2.x is because I expect 6.2.1802 will be out by the
time I'm ready to upload a package to mentors.debian.net.

P.S. I forgot to mention in the initial bug report that we (FreeCAD
commnity) have a discussion going on this topic with one of the
upstream developers, Mathias Hochsteger, in this thread: https://forum.

Hi Kurt,

thanks for the info. It would be much better if upstream
makes a release of netgen, so we can upload it into
the Debian archive. Pulling the rolling release is not
quite convenient.

Dear Maintainer,

Upstream has moved to monthly release models after v6.1, so as of
this writing the current version is 6.2.1801.

Sources are available at GitHub [1] although the monthly releases are 
currently not tagged, but an issue has been created to request this [2].

Until then, one can check out the appropriate commit via:

git checkout $(git rev-list -n 1 --before="2018-01-01 00:00" master)
