Anyway, this seems it will take quite some time before it gets
resolved, so I compiled the fixed packages for i386 and amd64 and put
them here to my repository:

It shouldn't be a big problem and I'll do it, as I also use and need it. We
are actually only waiting for an approval from the matplotlib maintainers.

I think upstream deprecated Numerics and numarray and the latest
version only uses numpy.

Changelog excerpts:

2007-06-01 Deprecate Numeric and numarray for use as numerix.
2007-06-02 Released 0.90.1 at revision 3352
2007-06-07 Disable build of numarray and Numeric extensions for
   internal MPL use and the numerix layer.
2007-07-19 replaced the Python code in numerix/ by a minimal wrapper
   around numpy that explicitly mentions all symbols that need
   to be addressed for further numpification
[...]
and only numpy is mentioned in the current README.

Anyway, as a matplotlib user, I am happy that you want to fix the
current issues, but sadly I currently don't have the time to help with
that.

Yes, I read that bug. There are more problems with matplotlib - it is
not lintian clean,
it still uses Numerics and numarray besides numpy (I don't know if
this is a feature or a bug),
and a new upstream release is out. To put it short, the package should
be comaintained in DPMT
and fixed. :)

That might also (partly) fix a bug I reassigned to matplotlib:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=466818

It was initially reported against pondus, which does not explicitely use
python-numpy, but only python-matplotlib (which it correctly depends on)

RFS: matplotlib 0.90.1-3

2008-02-23 Thread Ondrej Certik
Hi,

currently, matplotlib doesn't install with numpy in sid, when numpy
switched to gfortran and it conflicts with matplotlib.

It seems just a recompile of matplotlib fixes the problem. I imported
matplotlib to DPMT svn:

svn://svn.debian.org/svn/python-modules/packages/matplotlib/

and committed the necessary change. Unfortunatley, the maintainer and
uploaders of matplotlib didn't yet reply to my email and bug:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=467099

and a simple NMU will not fix the problem, as numpy conflicts with
python-matplotlib (<< 0.90.1-3). So what should I do to get this fixed
soon?

Should I upload (I can do that as a DM) a new revision of numpy not
conflicting with python-matplotlib?

Or can you upload the new matplotlib as I prepared in the svn?

The best solution is the one I offered to the maintainers of
matplotlib in the bug above - to maintain matplotlib in DPMT. But
unless they approve it, I don't
think we can do that.

Ondrej
