Re: fw: gfortran transition release goal proposal

Hi,
The proposal to transition from the outdated g77 to gfortran did
not result any comments. Which rises the suspicion that the maintainers
of affected packages are not reading debian-release or debian-toolchain.
If you have suggestions, critique, or you are busy but accept NMU'ing
your packages for gfortran transition.. please speak now.
Some of the packages gfortran transition affects are also affected by
the long double transition. This includes atleast the following fortran
packages:
lam, atlas3, fftw3, hdf5, mpich1.0, petsc, pdl
Therefor, I think it would make sense to start g77 -> gfortran
transition promptly, to avoid transitioning same packages twice.
I had read the mail, I am sorry about the delay answering. I am under
the classification: "Leaf" packages, that can be uploaded as soon as
all their dependencies have been transitioned.
I think it would be good, in some way, to report when a package has
been changed successfully as requested by the transition, and maybe to
share common problems or any important information would be also
great.
In my case, Scalapack's Build-Depens is :
Build-Depends: libmpich1.0-dev (>= 1.2.7-1), lam4-dev (>= 7.1.1-3.2),
pvm-dev, blacs-mpich-dev (>= 1.1-25), blacs-lam-dev, blacs-pvm-dev,
g77, lapack3-dev | liblapack-3.so, refblas3-dev | libblas-3.so,
debhelper (>= 5)
So I have to proceed changing it to:
Build-Depends: libmpich1.0-dev (>= 1.2.7-1), lam4-dev (>= 7.1.1-3.2),
pvm-dev, blacs-mpich-dev (>= 1.1-25), blacs-lam-dev, blacs-pvm-dev,
gfortran, lapack3-dev | liblapack-3.so, refblas3-dev | libblas-3.so,
debhelper (>= 5)
But before compiling scalapack I have to change blacs-pvm and
blacs-mpi first (gfortran) and all the other dependencies have to be
built with gfortran already, too. I think this is the way I have to do
it.
