Hi,

sorry to bother you again, but the freeze for Debian 7.0 Wheezy is
this Satuday (30th of June) and I still haven't heard or seen anything
on this issue:

I also reported it to GDL's SF bug tracker at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3529264&group_id=97659&atid=618683

GDL unfortunately will not be part of the next Debian stable release
if this can't be fixed soon.

While GDL made it into Ubuntu 12.04 LTS because some PLPLOT changes
have been reversed there after the first build failures have been
reported, this will likely affect Ubuntu 12.10, too.

I see[1] that you are preparing a 0.9.3 release but haven't noticed
any chnagelog entry related to this issue.

Any chance that the issue gets fixed for 0.9.3?

When will the 0.9.3 release happen? If I know in advance, there may be
a chance to get a freeze exception. (But I can't promise that.)

If you have a patch for the issue, please tell me (or send it to the
above mentioned and Cc'ed Debian bug report) so that I can apply the
patch to 0.9.2 and upload a fixed version as soon as possible without
waiting for the 0.9.3 release. (I would actually prefer that variant
currently as it's the most promising one for still getting into Debian
Wheezy.)

                Regards, Axel
