[Pkg-octave-devel] Status of the octave 3.8 transition

[Sébastien Villemot]

Hi,

The transition is making progress. The Release Team has scheduled the
first batch of binNMUs. The status can be seen here:

 https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/octave3.8.html

Current problems are:

- octave-nan FTBFS on mips and mipsel. This needs investigation.

- octave-odepkg seems stuck in an infinite loop on the powerpc buildd. I
could not reproduce the problem on the powerpc porterbox. I have
requested a give back to the buildd admins, without success for now

- libgdf FTBFS on kfreebsd-amd64 and s390x. I did not file a bug because
it looks like another instance of #739807 (bug in boost1.54). I did not
verify this however.

- octave-io FTBFS on some archs. This was due to a bug in octave
3.8.0-4, now fixed in 3.8.0-5; a binNMU will fix it, I'll request it

- octave-java FTBFS, but we don't care, it is obsolete and will be
removed

That's it for now.

Cheers,
