Bug#716766: RFA: ilmbase -- several utility libraries from ILM used by OpenEXR



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hello,

I am requesting an an adopter for the ilmbase and openexr packages. I
myself adopted this because it's needed for hugin but this needs
somebody with better C++ foo than me.

Debian is several upstream versions behind, which is caused among
other things because upstream develops on on AMD64 and it looks like
no testing on other archs (like e.g. ix86) is done. Experimental has
1.0.3 which has a test-failure on ix86 (it is supposed to be fixed by
disabling optimization.)

2.0.1 has recently been released and I am not convinced the dynamic
libraries are set up correctly there. Upstream is mixing libtool's
-release with -version-info and ends up with:
lrwxrwxrwx 1  libIlmThread-2_0.so.10 -> libIlmThread-2_0.so.10.0.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1  libIlmThread-2_0.so.10.0.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1  libIlmThread.so -> libIlmThread-2_0.so.10.0.1

I think there shouldn't be any libIlmThread.so here, but only a
libIlmThread-2_0.so. Anyway I am not totally ssure this is broken but
it might need fixing and making upstream understand.

thanks, cu Andreas
