[Bug 246408] Re: Please merge matplotlib 0.98.1-1 from Debian/unstable

[Benjamin Drung]

We have to check if matplotlib works without python-configobj and
python-enthought-traits installed. Maybe we can change the toolkit
dependencies to recommendations, because they are optional. This should
be discussed with the Debian maintainer. Quote from upstream homepage:
"matplotlib requires at a minimum python 2.3, numpy, freetype and
libpng. To get the most out of matplotlib, you will want to build some
of the optional GUI and image extensions, discussed below."

matplotlib (0.98.1-1ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #246408, #246239). Remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - debian/control: 
      - Change Maintainer/XSBC-Original-Maintainer field,
      - Update Build-depends: python-wxgtk2.6 -> 2.8
      - Change order of dependencies so python-gtk2 is first.
    - debian/docs: adding various doc files to binary package
    - Revert to TkAgg backend instead of GTKAgg which has been the default
      in the several last Ubuntu releases. TkAgg is also the default backend
      in the Debian version.
    - debian/rules: 
      - copy debian/setup.cfg to $(CURDIR), to make TkAgg the default.
      - call dh_link for the indep target.
    - Install /usr/share/matplotlib/matplotlib.conf and create
      a link from /etc/matplotlibrc to /usr/share/matplotlib.
    - debian/README.debian: add note on use of environmental variable.
  * debian/control:
    - Added python-pkg-resources to build dependency for version detection of
      python-enthought-traits
    - Moved dvipng from depends to recommends, because dvipng is an optional
      usetex dependency.
    - Moved python-configobj, python-enthought-traits (>= 2.0) from depends to
      suggests, becauste they are experimental config package dependencies.
