Is theano worth saving?
I have patches for #848764 and #831540; I haven't yet found the cause of
#831541, but as it only affects big-endian systems, partial removal is
an option.
However, one of these bugs is a point where upstream plan to make an
incompatible change (though my fix doesn't), and upstream aren't sure
whether having Theano in a long-release-cycle distribution such as
Debian is a good idea:
https://github.com/Theano/Theano/issues/5494
(Note that their suggested alternative of using pip will involve
manually installing libblas-dev, as pip only knows about Python
dependencies.)
The package is RFAd; I may well end up adopting it, but am not sure I
want to commit to that just yet. (I only discovered its existence at a
BSP ~10 days ago, but it does look like a reasonable fit for me.)
