Since the SRU for getting a working mit-scheme on Intrepid seems to be
going nowhere, I haven't seen the guy who said he'd deal with the bug on
IRC, and I imagine the entire Ubuntu project has more pressing things than
SRUs for Intrepid to deal with this weak, I've uploaded a version of
debathena-thirdparty-languages that doesn't have mit-scheme to -proposed.
If/when mit-scheme works on Intrepid (or when we move our focus to
Jaunty), we can re-add it trivially.
Tomorrow, after the existing debathena-cluster in -proposed gets released,
I intend to upload a version that has debathena-thirdparty as a
dependency, and move that to production by the end of the week. This means
that all the cluster Debathena machines will install debathena-thirdparty
and its dependencies when they take that update. I don't believe there
were objections to this when I raised it a few weeks back, other than that
we should make sure that mit-scheme eventually gets to clusters. If any
others have developed, please let me know soon.
On a tangential note, if anyone has a Jaunty system sufficiently close to
what clusters are like, I'd be interested in knowing how well
debathena-thirdparty's dependencies are satisfied or if we need to do any
wrestling. (`aptitude -s install debathena-thirdparty` should do this.)
