I am uploading the dependencies of singular now and testing Yue's last
monolithic proposal. If it passes the test as expected I will also
upload both archs during weekend.
Question: as I plan to readjust the package structure it will enough to
move the old directories on sourceware
singular-base : replaced by singular
singular-help : will remain
singular-icons : obsoleted
singular-share : obsoleted
singular-surf : replaced by surf (that is a stand alone package)
under the singular directory ?
Anything else to not upset "upset" ?
About the other packages:
- I do not consider not using the last hdf5 library a critical issue.
Upstream is bumping SONAME too many times for my appreciation,
HDF5-1.8.15 bumped again to libhdf5_10. Two bumps in the raw for a
minor version release (gr...)
- Octave is on 4.0.0-rc4 so a new package will arrive soon,
but I will need to update all octave-forge subpackages.
And it will take a while.
- I will look on R and Lyx but time will be short in the coming weeks.
Regards
Marco
