Bug#909793: RFS: intel-mkl/2019.0.117-2~bpo9+1 [NEW,stable-backports]
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-science@lists.debian.org
Dear mentors and science team,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "intel-mkl". I'm a Debian
Developer but I don't have backports ACL permission. I filed this RFS
because I don't need that permission. Of all my packages, only intel-mkl
is worth backporting.
* Package name : intel-mkl
Version : 2019.0.117-2~bpo9+1
Upstream Author : Intel
* URL : https://software.intel.com/en-us/mkl
* License : Intel Simplified Software License (ISSL)
Section : non-free/math
Backports-Justification:
* The best (yet non-free) x86 CPU based BLAS/LAPACK implementation.
* Expected to be very stable for Debian stable users.
* This package has migrated into testing.
How to build this package and prepare *_multi.changes for stretch-bpo:
1. Clone https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/intel-mkl
And checkout to the "stretch-bpo" branch.
2. Download orig.tar.gz from the archive.
3. Build package for amd64 and i386, respectively.
4. mergechanges -f xxx_amd64.changes xxx_i386.changes
5. changestool xxx_multi.changes updatechecksums
6. debsign and dput.
Changes since the last upload:
intel-mkl (2019.0.117-2~bpo9+1) stretch-backports; urgency=medium
* Downgrade python3 requirement to (>= 3.5)
* Downgrade debhelper compat level to 10.
* Enable control.bpo.py script in rules.
* Backport to stretch.
Debdiff and Justification:
* The debhelper compat level downgrade is very safe since this package
is just repacking upstream binary tarball.
* control.py is originally written in python3.6 . In order to build
this package, I wrote control.bpo.py which automatically edits
control.py, making it compatible with python3.5 . It actually
replaces the following pattern (python3.6 feature: format string)
f'blah {var1} blah {var2}'
into
'blah {var1} blah {var2}'.format(**locals())
control.bpo.py has been verified in one of my VMs (stretch).
