[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#742691: New version of python-biom-format (Was: Bug#742691: please make robust against ad-hoc (pre/post released) versions of cython)

[Tim Booth]

Hi Andreas,

It works for me!  Could you share your failed build log, please?

I built PyQi from your latest SVN and then built the latest biom-format
against it.  What's more, I had the build log from building against PyQi
0.2.0 and I diffed it with the new build log.  They were essentially
identical.

The only things I changed in the PyQi build -
1) I used the pristine tarball rather that repacking it to a -dfsg.
2) I disabled dh-linktree as I don't have it on Ubuntu 12.04.

Could it be due to my version of Python?  I'm on 2.7.3.  I'm due to
start building stuff for Ubuntu 14.04 this week, so at that point I'll
be on a system much closer to what you have with Debian Unstable.  Right
now I'm at the point of maximum divergence.

Cheers,

TIM
