I think the first step is to complete the mumps transition [1] for which coinor-ipopt seems to be the main obstacle, with an RC bug [2]. [1] http://release.debian.org/transitions/html/mumps.html [2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659898 When MUMPS goes in, then petsc and slepc go right in, along with elmerfem, and a couple of others. That said, the HDF5 transition seems a bit premature. There are some fundamental changes which have broken a couple of its reverse-depends, which is one reason so many packages needed to be removed from testing in order to transition it. In particular, it's impossible to install hdf5-tools and libhdf5-*mpi-dev at the same time, as is required to build a handful of reverse-depends [3]. There's no reason the MPI and non-MPI shared libs should conflict. [3] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=586149 Sorry I've been MIA for the past week, busy week at work. I'll try to get together patches for 586149 and 659898 so these things can move forward. -Adam -- GPG fingerprint: D54D 1AEE B11C CE9B A02B C5DD 526F 01E8 564E E4B6 Engineering consulting with open source tools http://www.opennovation.com/
