Description Donald Giuliano 2006-09-14 07:50:12 UTC

Version bump for sci-geosciences/gempak.  Several files and tweaks are now 
unnecessary, and a couples new tweaks had to be added (diff is helpful here). 
Otherwise, no real issues, the upgrade is working fine on my machine, and 
I request that it be made stable for x86, as I have been using GEMPAK stably 
on my Gentoo machine for years.

Please bump the package or I will last ride it. The chance that it doesn't compile is high.

Comment 4 Rich Gannon 2011-06-20 02:07:23 UTC

Please update to version 6.2.0.  I have been trying to and unable to get it to compile with an updated ebuild in an overlay.  I am no portage developer so I am at a loss.  I have issues with it not being able to find f77 as only gfortran is installed.

By now there have been 18 upstream releases and version is at 6.8.0. Is this package still maintained?

Another year has passed without any reply from maintainers. Reassigning to treecleaners.

- Gentoo package last updated in 2004
- Multiple security issues in bundled libs, e.g. zlib-1.1.4 and libpng-1.2.0
- Errors during compilation: FC=g77 is hardcoded, but the Fortran command
  is called gfortran since a long time. (However, the build system happily
  continues, because its hand-crafted Makefiles don't check for exit status
  of subdir makes. So the user will get a broken package installed.)
- Installs into strange location: /usr/gempak
- License issues, see bug 465690
