OK. I just tested the fixes in openvrml for building on new arches (arm64, ppc64le, ppc64) And I included the java fixes so that it would build. But now neither of us can upload our NMU due to this g++-5 ABI issue.
The maintainer seems to be MIA (Sam - are you out there?) so I'd very much like to just upload something if we can. If we were really keen we'd do a library transition just to be on the safe side. Does anyone know what's involved with that? openvrml is kind of old and unloved these days, but I would expect some software to be using it as it's a file format still supported by some things. libg3d, meshlab and openscenegraph claim vrml support for example? Did they drop it, do we not build the osg-vrml plugin, perhaps they have internal code for reading? These are questions the maintainer should be able to help answer. I've tried a build but it failed after the src build, because debian patches back in Makefile.am a 'lookat' target into, the source file for which was removed in 2006! after dh_autoreconfing this gets back into the build and it barfs. GUess I'd better fix that and try again... Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/
