[Pkg-julia-devel] Need help for packaging Julia 0.4

[Peter Colberg]

Hi Sébastien,

I went through the dependencies for Julia 0.4.0. It seems reasonable
to package juliadoc, utf8proc and dsfmt separately. dsfmt needs a
patch that fixes array-size arguments (int → ptrdiff_t), but otherwise
requires no modifications. The only dependency that cannot be packaged
is r-math, which is patched to use dsfmt for random-number generation.

libgit2 is already packaged. Julia’s patches to libuv appear to all be
related to cygwin (win pipe), so substituting with the libuv package
might work.

Regards,
Peter
