Bugzilla Bug 143076

Dear Markus,

Please rename the previous ebuild to "itpp-3.10.4.ebuild" in order to bump the
latest stable version of IT++.
The latest release is mainly related to bugs found under MS Visual C++, so
almost nothing changed from the Gentoo Linux perspective.

Thanks in advance!

PS. I hope you remember about stabilisation procedure of itpp-3.10.3

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the heads up and itpp-3.10.4 is in portage now.
I've got the stabilization in my calendar for the upcoming
weekend and will post a stabilization request to the x86
arch team and make sure to cc you on it.

Thanks,
Markus

Thanks for bumping IT++ to version 3.10.4. Unfortunately, I would like to
request another bump of the ebuild into release 3.10.5.

During last week, we managed to fix two important bugs, reported quite a long
time ago. Therefore, we decided to release the next bug-fix version only one
week after 3.10.4 was released.

Since no interface changes have been done, a simple rename of the ebuild should
suffice.

BTW, thanks for your stabilisation request to x86 team. I guess, we have to
wait with a stabilisation of version 3.10.5 for some time, starting from the
moment it enters the portage tree. Anyway, I recommend this step due to the
bugs we recently fixed in the library.

Hi Adam,

Thank you very much for your note! I just committed the ebuild
for itpp-3.10.5 to portage cvs.

Thanks,
Markus

Hi Markus,

Could you please consider asking the x86 team for marking the itpp-3.10.5
stable? This version is in portage since August the 15th, and no bugs have been
reported since then.

From the upstream perspective, this release fixed a few important bugs in
communications module, which is one of the most commonly used part of the IT++
library.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the note and I'll contact the x86 team as soon as
the 30 day stabilization period is up. I hope that is early enough.

Best,
Markus

Sure! That's fine.
However, it's a pity, there is no interest from other archs in testing and
keywording itpp.

Hi Adam,

I don't think it is disinterest, but mostly the fact
that the stabling of gcc-4.1.1 has taken a significant
toll on all arch teams and moving a packages into ~arch
probably isn't highest priority at the moment ;-).
I think cryos has several amd dev boxes and I'll drop him an
email to ask if he has time to do it.

Markus

You are right... The migration from gcc-3.4 to gcc-4.1 caused a lot of work for
devs. Besides, I think the IT++ library is a very specific kind of software,
which is not commonly used, and therefore there is not too big interest for it.

That's great! Thanks!

PS. Should you need any assistance in testing {blas,lapack}-atlas ebuilds you
are going to work on this week, please let me know.

Hi Markus,

Knock, knock...

Just to refresh you memory a little bit ;-)

Yeah, thanks and sorry for the delay! I haven't forgotten, but got bogged down 
with other things. I'll do it this weekend!

Best,
Markus
