There were no conflicts at all. I've also refreshed the patch set and achieved a first successful build. At this stage I'd like to push my changes to alioth. I applied yesterday for pkg-grass membership for this purpose. I'm now in the process of updating the symbol files, and I'm a bit puzzled by the many '#MISSING: 1.8.x# flags present in libhdf5-mpich2-7.symbols and libhdf5-openmpi-7.symbols. Shouldn't removed symbols bump the SONAME? There are also a lot of '(optional)' and '(arch xxx)' tags. What are the rationals for setting them? Thanks in advance, _g.
