updated Ubuntu Dapper packages for numpy, matplotlib, and scipy online
I have updated the apt repository I maintain for Ubuntu's Dapper, which now includes: numpy matplotlib scipy Each package is from a recent SVN checkout and should thus be regarded as "bleeding edge". The repository has a new URL: http://debs.astraw.com/dapper/ I intend to keep this repository online for an extended duration. If you want to put this repository in your sources list, you need to add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:: deb http://debs.astraw.com/ dapper/ deb-src http://debs.astraw.com/ dapper/ I have not yet investigated the use of ATLAS in building or using the numpy binaries, and if performance is critical for you, please evaluate speed before using it. I intend to visit this issue, but I cannot say when. The Debian source packages were generated using stdeb, [ http://stdeb.python-hosting.com/ ] a Python to Debian source package conversion utility I wrote. stdeb does not build packages that follow the Debian Python Policy, so the packages here may be slighly unusual compared to Python packages in the official Debian or Ubuntu repositiories. For example, example scripts do not get installed, and no documentation is installed. Future releases of stdeb may resolve these issues. As always, feedback is very appreciated. Cheers! Andrew

That's great. Last week, I sended several messages to the list regarding your messages about debian packages for numpy, but it looks they were lost somewhere.... Right now, I use the experimental package of debian + svn sources for numpy, and it works well. Is your approach based on this work, or is it totally different (on debian/ubuntu, packaging numpy + atlas should be easy, as the atlas+lapack library is compiled such as to be complete), David

Hi David, I did get your email last week (sorry for not replying sooner). I'm actually using my own tool "stdeb" to build these at the moment -- the 'official' package in experimental is surely better than mine, and I will probably switch to it over stdeb sooner or later... Cheers! Andrew

I am unable to access these repositories (which sound very useful, and for which I am grateful to Andrew!). apt-get update gives "Failed to fetch http://debs.astraw.com/dapper/Release.gpg Could not resolve ‘debs.astraw.com’" I am also unable to access the repositories listed on the website: deb http://sefton.astraw.com/ubuntu/ dapper/ deb-src http://sefton.astraw.com/ubuntu/ dapper/ for the same reason. Does anyone know where they've gone and if they're coming back? Cheers, -- Michael Williams Rudolph Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics University of Oxford

Hmm, that looks like DNS error. My repository is still up and online... debs.astraw.com is actually a "CNAME" record, which aliases another domain name. The canonical domain name uses a dynamic DNS to point to a dynamically assigned IP addresses. Your system (probably in your DNS name resolution) must be having some issue with some of that. Unfortunately, you can't just plug in the IP address, because I'm using Apache virtual hosting to serve a website at "debs.astraw.com" differently from other websites. Anyhow, here's what I get, hopefully it will help you fix your DNS issue. $ host debs.astraw.com debs.astraw.com is an alias for astraw-office.kicks-ass.net. astraw-office.kicks-ass.net has address 131.215.28.162 debs.astraw.com is an alias for astraw-office.kicks-ass.net. debs.astraw.com is an alias for astraw-office.kicks-ass.net.
I am also unable to access the repositories listed on the website:
deb http://sefton.astraw.com/ubuntu/ dapper/ deb-src http://sefton.astraw.com/ubuntu/ dapper/
Eek, I replaced that with the new one location and some more info.
for the same reason. Does anyone know where they've gone and if they're coming back?
I'm planning on keeping them around for a while -- at least until numpy, scipy, and matplotlib get integrated into my flavor-of-the-year Debian/Ubuntu release in a sufficiently up-to-date version.

It is indeed a DNS error. I should have tested from a different machine before posting. Thanks for the quick reply.

Great. I've installed them now, and the seem to be working fine. Thanks very much! Cheers, -- Mike
