A little update:
- I've updated the copyright with the upstream approval to post the
sources and binaries of metis on the debian mirrors
- code aster packages now are built only for python2.6
- code aster is no longer linked to metis-edf but to scotchmetis; now
metis-edf is only a suggested package
About the last change, I made only a quick test and it seemed to work;
anyway, a deepest testing should be needed: in the next days I'll run
the test suite coming with code aster.
The package has still some issues:
- the file mpirun_template, needed to complete the mpi build by as_run
is missing; I've opened a bug for code-aster-run[1], is someone taking
care of this?
- some sed commands in debian/rules does not seem to work; the affected
file is astout.export, used to run the test suite
- the package is still not lintian clean, since there are some .pyc
files around
What now? I'll continue to work on the packages... what should be fixed
first to make the packages enter the distribution?
Bye
Andrea
