Bug#1000336: Upgrading tbb

[M. Zhou]

Hi all,

The good news is that I managed to upgrade onetbb. It 
is in the NEW queue now:
https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/onetbb_2021.4.0-1~exp1.html
All changes have been pushed onto salsa (master branch).

SOVERSION was bumped from 2 to 12 so NEW is inevitable.
There are also some non-trivial API changes. So I guess the
transition won't be easy.

Have you managed to make much progress?

I fiddled with the packaging and got it to build and trying to run
the
autopkgtests with 2021.4.0-1

What'd help me is to have a package I could build locally and test
numba against. If you got it working could you commit what you have
to
a salsa branch and let me know where it is?

Thanks,
Diane
