Hi, The scilab source package now FTBFS on ppc64el (#801060). Even if it could build, the resulting package is unusable (#798652) because it depends on a java library (bluegen2) with explicitely no upstream support for ppc64el (#779482). All this is in the way of the ongoing hdf5 transition (#798256). In this context I've had a ack from RT (pochu) to request a removal of scilab from ppc64el. As sciscipy depends on scilab it implies its removal from ppc64el first. As a sidenote sciscipy has a very low popcon score (~100). Thanks in advance, _g. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJWE+gfAAoJEO/obGx//s+DMr8H/jZZqKr95TvzKKjwO9jpgsk3 FiunFaDqHDm1JLmbrjk1lRnfKzZD5mPT7YANrlPTJaf2tSu/bq3F3EIyOXNud8Vb oG64zZOgibpYF8RFLnEjBiCLIciJWeRdkcYZ8CHeRFmJqxRs6jwAIHTJx5KnY+66 MsBqai75b40QAnM71HvP19U/XPHh8R18aXk+lCXiSpZHNPjemCaWxEQ4F+bZiGwa iPv6vFXhJ0gPpiCLr5F1juygyz42ygbQwG3YiaqH7WSX9izsZ4xE7Bc5fwcOJ5oo rHfGWvUz7WglV8TEQHKok57QIocFGVDK5+SE1+Is/8D6IXWrSU4bPqJofh6B4Pk= =MXJk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
