Please merge boost1.37-1.37.0-9ubuntu1

Please note that there will be a dependency wait on mpi-defaults-dev which is a new package already imported for karmic but not yet built.

Hi,

    + Change $(pyste_prefix) to $(pyste_root)

Why's that? Is this change applicable to Debian?

Thanks,

James

It has to do with the Python transition. Simply passing --install-layout=deb wasn't working as setting the prefix as /usr was over-ridding it and still installing pyste to /usr/local

Here's the relevant part of the diff:

-pyste_prefix = $(CURDIR)/debian/libboost-python$(PKGVERSION)-dev/usr
+pyste_root = $(CURDIR)/debian/libboost-python$(PKGVERSION)-dev

[snip]

- cd libs/python/pyste/install && python setup.py install --no-compile --prefix=$(pyste_prefix) --install-lib=$(pyste_prefix)/share/python-support/pyste
- mv $(pyste_prefix)/bin/pyste.py $(pyste_prefix)/bin/pyste
+ cd libs/python/pyste/install && python setup.py install --no-compile --root=$(pyste_root) --install-layout=deb --install-lib=$(pyste_root)/usr/share/python-support/pyste
+ mv $(pyste_root)/usr/bin/pyste.py $(pyste_root)/usr/bin/pyste

I suppose I could have just used:

pyste_prefix = $(CURDIR)/debian/libboost-python$(PKGVERSION)-dev/

But renaming it to pyste_root better represents what it now is.

It's only applicable to Debian in so far as it is part of the transition which they've yet to do. I'll submit a patch to BTS including all the python transition changes.

This bug was fixed in the package boost1.37 - 1.37.0-9ubuntu1

    Borg for their patches. New -dev package conflicts and replaces
    libboost1.37-dev, since the headers were moved from the latter to the
    former.
  * patches/mpi-python.patch: The python bindings for Boost.MPI don't
    build; disable until I understand what's going on.

  * rules: Usage of "dh_clean -k" is deprecated in debhelper 7; replace
    with "dh_prep".

Hi,

This upload added a new Build-Depends, mpi-default-dev, and has since
been moved to main.

This has led to that package wanting to move to main, but it needs an
MIR to be able to do so.

There are 3 source packages involved, lam, openmpi, and mpi-defaults.
Would you be able to start the process for this?

Thanks,

James

Oh, sorry, there's a fourth package as well, libibverbs.

Thanks,

James

Hi James,

I've haven't done a MIR before, but would be willing to do them. Though, it's not something I can get to right away. Looking over the template, it seems that it's a bit time consuming to do them properly. I'm in the middle of finals at school right now, so unfortunately I don't think that this is something I could get to this week.

If these need to be done ASAP, I can't do it. Shouldn't they have done before this was promoted in the first place? I've found the bug for the promotion but no MIR. Is that because boost1.35 is already in main, so this was technically an upgrade?

Sorry if this is a problem,

- Andrew
