[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Two things:
 - the package does not build because of missing dependencies, did you try to build it?
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy: Depends: libjgraphx-java (>= 1.2.0.7) but it is not installable
                                     Depends: libjhdf5-java (>= 2.6) but it is not installable
 - This sync request is unnecessary. 1) We're not in DebianImportFreeze yet (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule), 2) the package in Lucid is unmodified.

[Ilya Barygin (randomaction)]

I'm unsubscribing u-u-s per above, please resubscribe if/when necessary.

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

Oh, so scilab will be synced automatically ?

I filed this request when 5.2.0-2 was the latest version.
As I see now the maintainer has uploaded version 5.2.0-3 which introduces the new version dependency which cannot be satisfied by the libraries in lucid.

I have to ask the maintainer why he did that.

Thanks for your response!

[Sylvestre Ledru (sylvestre)]

Hello
jhdf5 & jgraphx are now available.
Could you sync from the latest Debian package of Scilab (5.2.0-6) which has many improvements on the current version ?
Thanks

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Hi,

I've tried to build the package, and it still FTBFS:
...
After installing, the following source dependencies are still unsatisfied:
libjhdf5-java(inst 2.5-8 ! >= wanted 2.6)
Source-dependencies not satisfied; skipping scilab

Unsubscribing u-u-s for the moment, Please subscribe sponsors again when the package builds correctly in Lucid.

Thanks,
Fabrice

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

I filed a sync request for 2.6.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jhdf/+bug/521333
It requires version 1.8.4 of hdf5.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hdf5/+bug/521331

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

The build dependencies are now satisfied in lucid.

Would be glad to get is ACKed before Feature Freeze.

[Sylvestre Ledru (sylvestre)]

Please sync against 5.2.0-7.
Or wait for tomorrow or the day after two have Scilab 5.2.1 released and uploaded in Debian (fixes many bugs).

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Hi,

I killed generation after one hour without outputs:
...
Copying '/build/fabrice-scilab_5.2.0-7-amd64-7N6XFy/scilab-5.2.0/modules/xcos/help/images/xcos_menu_tools.png' to '/build/fabrice-scilab_5.2.0-7-amd64-7N6XFy/scilab-5.2.0/modules/helptools/javaHelp/scilab_en_US_help/xcos_menu_tools.png'...

Note: namesp. cut : stripped namespace before processing Scilab manual

Please check what's happening with the build

[Sylvestre Ledru (sylvestre)]

Fabrice: sometime, this part takes forever... The docbook stylesheet used to generate the documentation can be quite slow.

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

Maybe you should wait a bit longer :) :
https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=scilab&ver=5.2.0-7&arch=amd64&stamp=1266339679&file=log
Build needed 06:32:51, 1024900k disc space

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Sorry, but I won't ack a package that I'm not able to build and install. Subscribing again u-u-s, is anyone volunteer.

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

The package compiles fine in a PPA.
But as said it just takes some time.

https://launchpad.net/~getdeb-package-managers/+archive/ppa/+packages
https://launchpad.net/~getdeb-package-managers/+archive/ppa/+build/1514417
https://launchpad.net/~getdeb-package-managers/+archive/ppa/+build/1514416

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

I also compiled the new version successfully in the PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~getdeb-package-managers/+archive/ppa/+packages

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

You need a Feature Freeze exception [1] for the sync.

[1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

Oh, I am sorry. I thought it was not necessary because the bug was initial filed before Feature Freeze.

Well, the benefits are:
 - _lots_ of bug fixes. See the PDF here: http://www.scilab.org/products/scilab/download/5.2.1/Changes-for-5.2.1
 - Major improvements to Xcos. Have a look at details here: http://www.scilab.org/products/scilab/download/5.2.1/whatsnew
 - The scilab-cli package now allows scilab to be used as a command line tool.
 - It compiles :) It just takes some hours. So don't get impatient: https://launchpad.net/~getdeb-package-managers/+archive/ppa/+packages

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

I also tested the new version and it works.
It also updates fine from the version currently in the lucid universe repository.

So I see no reason for not including it

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Hi,

can you share some insights, how rdepends/build-rdepends will be affected?
* sivp (newer in unstable)
* scilap-plotlib
* scilap-ann

thanks!

[Sylvestre Ledru (sylvestre)]

ann & plotlib will work without any problems since it is only Scilab macros (script)
sivp might need a rebuild but it will probably work about of the box

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

ok, thanks. +1 from me.

[Nathan Handler (nhandler)]

+1 from me too. Feature Freeze exception granted.
