Bug#990397: What are the development priorities for the csironn library? (was Bug#990397: depends on deprecated qhull library)

[Alan W. Irwin]

A message on this thread from Atri Bhattacharya
<badshah400 at opensuse.org> bounced (presumably because he used a
non-subscription return address).  But as list administrator I saw
that bounced message which turned out to be of immediate interest.  So
I am reposting it here without asking Atri to resubmit with
subscription address == return address.

For openSUSE's plplot package, we have a patch to build against
libqhull_r, kindly contributed by Stefan. Here is the bug reference
which has the patch as an attachment:
<https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/bugs/196/>. Would be great to get
this checked into plplot upstream.

Hope that helps.

Hi Atri:

I don't know how I missed that PLplot bug report with a patch that
from its title likely implements the csironn library
development topic that I just discussed on this thread!

Anyhow, thanks for drawing this patch to my attention, and I hope
I have time to take a close look at in in the coming week or so.

Alan
