[Pkg-julia-devel] Rebuild Julia against new suitesparse?

[Graham Inggs]

Hi Peter

Suitesparse 1:4.4.6-1 was recently accepted in unstable.
Libspqr and libsuitesparseconfig both got their versions bumped [1].

I think this will make julia uninstallable, but because of your
shlibdeps magic, it should only require a rebuild (binNMU [2]).  I'd
like to confirm this and then request a binNMU after the weekend.

Ubuntu will require a no-changes 0.4.3-1build1 upload, which I intend
to do, but 0.4.3-1 hasn't yet migrated from proposed [3] because of a
FTBFS on armhf.  It would be nice to fix or work around that at the
same time, but I don't have any ideas.  The FTBFS on powerpc is OK
because it has never built in the past.

Regards
Graham
