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

[Alan W. Irwin]

Hi Timo:

As a Debian user, I agreed with what you said all the way down the
line concerning how Debian is dealing with this transition from
libqhull to reentrant libqhull_r.

Furthermore, it looks like there is already a patch submitted to
upstream PLplot to solve this issue which I will be looking at fairly
soon.  If comprehensive testing works for that patch I will accept it
upstream, and in that case and assuming Rafael's tests work as well, I
assume Rafael will also accept that patch downstream in order to close
your bug#990397 against PLplot as fixed.

Best wishes for many more such quick fixes for this issue,

Alan
