I was looking for some packeges I need for data visualization, namely Gri and Python-Biggles, and I noticed that they are both unavailable under 10.3 tree. Is there any severe issue about these packages that prevent them from being available?There seem to be problems with some of the dependencies rather than scipy itself. I actually managed to get around it by copying the .debs from a 10.2 installation into my /sw/fink/10.3/local tree, then grabbed the old scipy info and patch, and built that in my local tree. Tracing that back, the critical dependencies then were reportlab-py23 and f2py-py23. reportlab is in 10.3 now, and the only remaining issue with f2py appears to be that it requires gcc 3.1 to build. After doing 'gcc_select 3', I've been able to rebuild f2py from the 10.2 info file, and then with 'gcc_select 3.3' rebuilt scipy. I've been using scipy on Panther fairly regularly, though not extensively (mostly limited to the interpolate routines), and didn't run into any trouble yet.
What I mean is: are they on their way or it's better to look for something else?
And what about SciPy? It's missing too... and I miss it... ;-)
Seems that gri has the same problems, it also built successfully after selecting gcc 3, whereas with Python-Biggles apparently it's a python versioning problem. After modifying the info file to use (e.g.) python2.3, that package also built without further trouble (see below). I've run the Biggles examples from their website, and they work fine - nice package indeed, I might come to use that as alternative/addition to gnuplot-py :-).
I guess the gcc_select could be incorporated into the f2py/gri build process, if that's the only obstacle.
