illuminator (0.10.0-2) build depends on libffm-dev [alpha] (not available)

libluminate-dev (0.10.0-2) depends on libpetsc2.3.0-dev (>= 2.3.0-3)

illuminator-demo (0.10.0-2) depends on libpetsc2.3.0

libluminate7 (0.10.0-2) depends on libpetsc2.3.0

Trying to rebuild illuminator with petsc 2.3.2 leads to a FTBFS. It's the same problem as reported in Debian bug #402784.

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

I'm not sure why petsc upstream is breaking API's this way when version number indicates a stable maintenance release (2.3.2). Change is documented on http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-as/documentation/changes/232.html

I'm attaching a debdiff with small patch that should work with petsc >= 2.3.0 and is backwards-compatible, it's untested though and I'm not sure if it even works. There's something weird going on with petsc librairies, tsview --help just gives me bunch of petsc errors..

Changed PetscRandomCreate is documented in http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-as/snapshots/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/PetscRandomCreate.html#PetscRandomCreate. If anyone with more brain wants to poke this around.

[Vassilis Pandis (pandisv)]

This has been fixed in 0.10.0-3 which is not yet in Feisty:

 illuminator (0.10.0-3) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Rebuilding against new PETSc 2.3.2 (closes: #376890).
   * Fixed chts.c for new PetscRandom API (closes: #402784).

Filed a sync request as bug 82589, was easier to set as a separate bug & use requestsync. I'll close this one once synced.

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

recently synced illuminator 0.10.0-4 fixes this issue
