[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Bug#494031: Please try building paraview

[Jurij Smakov]

Hi,

I've proposed a patch [0] to fix an RC bug in paraview [1] (FTBFS on 
sparc). Unfortunately, after applying the patch, the package build 
fails in random places for me (not related to the initial problem) in 
roughly half of the build attempts (in the other half the package is 
built successfully). It might be some weird issue with the build 
system or toolchain, there is also a chance that my hardware is broken 
(even though until now I was not able to notice any problems while 
building other packages). If you have a chance and a reasonably fast 
sparc box (it takes about 6 hours to build on my SunBlade1000), please 
try building paraview from sid with the patch [0], preferrably a few 
times, and report if you encounter any failures.
