Bugzilla Bug 180916

Hi,

Could we please stabilize sci-libs/gsl-1.9!?
It has been bug free for quite some time now and seems
to be doing pretty well :)
src_test() will go through a fairly extensive set of
test routines and should allow you to verify the package.

@ppc64:
gsl-1.8 had an issue with mis-detecting ppc64 (see 
comments 5-9 over at bug #167860) and I am currently
not sure if this has been taken care of upstream or not.

Thanks,
Markus

sci-libs/gsl-1.9

1. emerges on x86
2. passes test suite
3. passes collision test
4. works

Stable for HPPA.

1: emerges
2: passes test, collision-protect, strict, multilib-strict
3: Seems to work (cmd line tools produce outout, media-gfx/kst-1.1.1 emerges
(DEPENDs on sci-libs/gsl) and runs)

Ideas?

Unfortunately no ideas :( gsl-1.9 is the first version with
mips on board so it is hard to say if this is a regression or not.
We had a somewhat similar problem with ppc64 in the past where
configure failed to pick up the proper arch and screwed
up the IEEE floating point math as a result.
Could you please check if your CPU is detected properly?

Thanks much,
Markus

amd64 done, thanks Togge

config.log shows configure guessing the cpu as normal as ever.  I suspect it's
bad code somewheres, but this is best determined by upstream.  Able to shoot a
request upstream and see if they have any interest in pursuing this?

Hi kumba,

Thanks much for looking into this. Let's just drop mips from 
stabling gsl for now (unless you know of any pressing need to
have a stable gsl). We should definitely inform upstream;
if you've got time it would be great if you could post to 
bug-gsl@gnu.org; otherwise I can certainly do it myself 
but since I don't own a mips box I can't really be very
interactive with the gsl devs.

Thanks,
Markus
