Regarding, scalapack and blacs-pvm, I did other uploads where I fixed
some problems into debian/control file in both of them. Now, I will be
doing an upload of blacs-mpi, soon. Looking at the 'excuses' pages of
the packages blacs-mpi still is the blocker¹:
* trying to update blacs-mpi from 1.1-28 to 1.1-28.2 (candidate is 370 days old)
* Updating blacs-mpi makes 1 depending packages uninstallable on i386:
blacs-pvm-test
* Updating blacs-mpi makes 6 non-depending packages uninstallable on
i386: scalapack-lam-dev, scalapack-lam-test, scalapack-mpich-dev,
scalapack-mpich-test, scalapack1-lam, scalapack1-mpich
I have taken a look at blacs-mpi and I don't see anything wrong on it.
Anyways, this package was built one year ago. Maybe it is needed to
rebuilt it again into the new conditions in unstable. Adam, would you
sponsor this upload?
If anyone have an idea on what is not letting blacs-mpi enter to
testing, I'd appreciate another point of view.
