Bug#829371: transition: ntl
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
The transition is to a (much) newer version of NTL, going from version
6.2.1 to version 9.9.1.
The auto-generated ntl transition page doesn't list flint-arb as a dep,
but it probably should since there is a dependency chain ntl -> flint
-> flint-arb.
I checked that these new ntl packages make it possible to build eclib,
flint, linbox, singular and flint-arb on an amd64 debian box, so I don't
expect any new problem.
There is a FTBFS for flint-arb on armhf, but it was already the case
before the transition, so I don't count it as new problem. [Aside: and
I'm still trying to sort things out with upstream.]
I'll need to find sponsors for the various uploads needed for this
transition, but that should be ok.
Thanks,
Snark on #debian-science
