Upstream Release Monitoring

*** Bug 573808 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Latest upstream release: 6.2 Current version in Fedora Rawhide: 5.7 URL: http://hea-www.harvard.edu/RD/ds9/ Please consult the package update guidelines before you issue an update to a stable branch: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_update_guidelines More information about the service that created this bug can be found at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upstream_Release_Monitoring Any hope of seeing this packaged? It requires blt-3.0. It's still beta (or alpha). I will ask the blt maintainer if he is willing to create a package directly from CVS. It would really be nice if ds9 version 6.2 could be included with Fedora as the currently distributed version for example does not create working postscript files. As the stumbling block seems to be the (experimental?) version of the blt package, could ds9 not be packaged with the needed version of blt compiled in ? It's not only that blt is version 3.0. Last time I checked (a few weeks ago), saotk frame component didn't compile due to some weird macro usage in ast.h header. Upstream compiles with gcc 4.4.It seems that the code doesn't compile with gcc 4.5 - 6.1 uses blt 2.4z, perhaps we could stick with that for now - The ast issue appears to fixed with the makeh from ast 5.6. There are still a number of bundled libraries in ds9, including ast. I've get a version of an ast package here: http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/ast.spec http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/ast-5.6-1.fc14.src.rpm So what we need is an ast package. Would you submit it for review? Just for information, I had a short email exchange with the developer and the beta version of ds9 available at http://hea-www.harvard.edu/RD/ds9/beta.html is now supposed to compile with gcc 4.5 (it seems to include ast-5.6-0) (In reply to comment #9) > Just for information, I had a short email exchange with the developer and the > beta version of ds9 available at http://hea-www.harvard.edu/RD/ds9/beta.html is > now supposed to compile with gcc 4.5 (it seems to include ast-5.6-0) Yes, it mostly compiles. It gas some errors, but they apear in packages than would be removed during packaging (tcl, etc). But this version requires blt 3, and in fedora we have blt 2.4. That's still a problem Submitted ast for review here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=701801 Will need some more work. Also put up signal_ext for review at Bug 702077 What is the status of this? |
