[Plplot-devel] Debian packages - test results

[Andrew R. <and...@us...>]

All,

The 5.9.8 Debian packages have now made it into unstable and are 
currently being built by the autobuild machines on a range of
architectures. This provides a rather useful test of plplot on
architectures not available to the developers. The buildd logs
are available at 
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=plplot

As part of the build the "make test_noninteractive" tests are 
run. 

A quick summary of the issues I've noticed so far is below. There
are some issues on all platforms except amd64. For i386 and 
kfreebsd-i386 this is just differences in the comparison of postscript
output, which we have seen before on some 32-bit architectures I 
believe. The other problems are to do with 

D example 20
OCaml example 9
Java examples

These might be bugs in the compilers / libraries rather than in plplot,
but they might be worth checking.
