[Pkg-gridengine-devel] Bug#776131: Logol dependency

[olivier sallou]

Hi,
I am the maintainer of the logol package, impacted by gridengine removal.

In fact logol depends (though not mandatory at usage, only highly
recommended) on drmaa-java, drmaa is a API ofr cluster computing system
(gridengine, torque, ...). The one available on Debian seems to be
gridengine only, but a drmaa virtual package could exists that would match
any implementation (provides: drmaa).

Anyway, I have no specific gridengine dependency, only drmaa.  gridengine
was the only Java implementation in Debian.

The problem of the removal will be the compilation. Logol can work without
gridengine (a local mode exists), but  library is needed for compilation as
usage is available in code.

I gonna patch the code to use a fake lib implementation waiting for
gridengine being back to avoid being removed.

Olivier
