NeXus 4.3 package on Precise Pangolin (and above)

Asked by Martyn Gigg

Hello,

Would it be possible to have packages for NeXus version 4.3 for Precise Pangolin and above. We currently use version 4.2.1, the one included with Precise & above, but there is a bug fix that went into 4.3 that would prevent a crash relating to threading.

It relates to http://trac.nexusformat.org/code/ticket/272:

which was fixed in 4.3:

* The NeXus API now ensures thread safety, even if the underlying HDF/XML library is not built that way. The current approach would not allow any concurrency in writing, but HDF5 does not support this anyway at the moment.

I suggest you file a bug here

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nexus/+filebug

Include where the later version is available if known and why you want the change.

No guarantees but at least the packagers will be aware the change is wanted.

You could always compile the package if it is needed in a hurry. You can run:

ubuntu-bug nexus

If you have the package installed, it will kick off the process.

Can you help with this problem?
