Hi all,
I have taken over the maintaince of the igraph and python-igraph packages in
Fedora a while ago but I only now find time to look into it and look into
updating them.
The current versions available are rather old now: 0.5.4 for both igraph and
python-igraph.
My first problem has been to find the canonical place of igraph, so far I have
found:
- http://igraph.sourceforge.net/
- latest version 0.6.5 in February 2013
- sources look like a R module, which I managed to compile as such using
`R CMD INSTALL`
- however, most of the code under src/ seems to not install (the headers files
for example)
- https://code.google.com/p/igraph/
- No information on the project page as to if the project is still hosted
there or if it has moved
- The download tab gives a list of nightly builds
- The sources tab refers to launchpad
- No real idea of the latest version
- https://launchpad.net/igraph
- Clearly says the project has moved to github
- Mentions a 0.6.5 release in March 2013
- Latest commits on the sources seems to be from last month
- The download link refers to sourceforge
- https://github.com/igraph/igraph
- Lastest commits are from October 2013
- Annouces 7 releases (tags) of which the latest (stable) seems to 0.6.6
- Sources seems to contain parts of all of other projects and bundles them
- see nexus folder
- see src/lapack
- see src/plfit which looks like a bundle of
https://github.com/ntamas/plfit/
- see msvc/include/libxml
- files in this folder seems to not mention any license
- msvc/iconv.h seems to come from the `GNU LIBICONV Library`
- optional/glpk is licensed GPLv3+ while igraph itself is licensed GPLv2+
- the interfaces/python setup.py has a 0.6.6 release which is absent from
pypi https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-igraph
- If I download the 0.6.5 release from github I get a completely different
tarball than from sourceforge or cran
- http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/igraph/index.html
- latest version 0.6.6
- mentions igraph.sourceforget.net as website but as mentionned above that
website is at 0.6.5
- Browsing the archives of this mailing list, I saw an igraph.org website
mentionned, but it returns me a 404 page
So to be honest, I am a little lost. What is the canonical source for igraph
development?
Which one should I use for updating the Fedora packages?
And how should I compile these sources? The python binding is looking for
<igraph_datatype.h> which is present in the sources of the R package (cran,
sourceforge) but is not installed by `R CMD BUILD`.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Best regards,
Pierre
