:) I supposed the situation was something similar. Well, given the
package sit waiting since a long time, and even Ubuntu expressed the
wish to pull a new version from Debian, I think I'll upload to
experimental this night. Once ready, I'll package and upload .3 too.
Thanks for your work!
Cheers,

Well, I've been planning to do it for some time now but have just been
too busy. It's high on my list of things to do though!

I was wondering that, for the time being, I could upload to
experimental: developers, do you have any plan to release .3 soon? If
not, and upload to our "experimental" area (that's a sort of unstable,
but with packages not ready for prime time) could be an easy way for
our users to have mpl on Debian system. Let me know, the package is
ready, just needs the upload.

Hi all,
due to some requests came lately, I decided to upload the "temp"
Debian package for 0.98.5.2.
They are available at [1]. If you're using an amd64 architecture, then
you can take all those python-matplotlib*.deb and "sudo dpkg -i
....deb" them, if you're using another architecture, then (needs
devscripts, build-essential installed):
dget -x http://people.debian.org/~morph/matplotlib_0.98.5.2-1.dsc
cd matplotlib-0.98.5.2
debuild -us -uc
At this stage, the command will fails because there are some missing
packages needed to build mpl. They are listed, so take them and
"aptitude install <package list>". You need both unstable and
experimental repository in your /etc/apt/sources.list. Reiterate this
process until the building proceeds.
After a while (30mins ~ 1.5h) you'll have in .. the deb files to
install on your machine.
The building "guidelines" above are not complete, as it can't be in
this email; in case of problem, reply to the lists, so other can
leverage the replies.
Cheers,
Sandro
