I guess that would indeed be the best resolution for now

not the one I am aware off -- just extract from the total patch present
in Ubuntu i.e.
http://patches.ubuntu.com/p/pytables/pytables_2.3.1-2ubuntu3.patch
and adjust to care about sparc as well

Julian -- would you like to join the team (Debian science) and help with
maintenance of pytables in Debian? ;)

Yaroslav, I doubt it can be done in short time. We (upstream) are all
quite busy in this period.
IMHO the best solution is to adopt Julian's patch for blosc disabling
and upload the new package to allow migration to testing.

Just let me know how to proceed.

I don't know if there is some special protocol/procedure for importing
changes from ubuntu.

Maybe Julian would like to push the patch into debian-science directly.

best regards

what would not work?  disabling blosc?  it would work I bet and thanks
for testing on a sparc64 system

I just hoped that someone (upstream?) could find a chance to
resolve it "properly" ;)

you will have to disable blosc if you want it to build on all arches, I
did not look into fixing blosc as its more complicated and its probably
performance critical code where adding slow hacks to remove unaligned
accesses will likely break the whole benefit of it.
This will have to be done upstream.

I built the ubuntu package on a sparc64 and it succeeded, from the logs
it looks like the same issue as arm's (unaligned memory access).
What makes you think it won't work?

Hi Antonio and Julian,

Sorry for being silent/disconnected

so -- what is the status -- should we meanwhile upload to see how things
are "going" across platforms?   or should we may be adopt blosc
disabling patches from Julian first 
sparc issue is still not resolved AFAIK

I have pushed a tiny fix for typos with a close statement for 661287
(CCed now) (if I got it right on what we are closing now ;) )

> Thank you very much Julian, the patch is now applied upstream.
> I'm going to backport the patch to the debian package ASAP.
