UPDATE: atlas-3.9.37 (Fixes critical bugs!)

[adfernandes (Andrew Fernandes)]

Patch included. One "patchfile" no longer needed.

According to the changelog since 3.9.35 (the current port version):

ATLAS 3.9.37 released 02/15/11, changes from 3.9.36:
   * Fixed bug in all L2 kernel timers where timing loop not even entered,
     resulting in bogus time being returned
   * Fixed bug in gmmsearch.c; lat was set to bad value after K-unroll search
   * Added xtune_spawn_fp to study spawning strategies under load
ATLAS 3.9.36 released 02/13/11, changes from 3.9.35:
   * ATLAS now only uses affinity when it provides speedup (empirically tuned)
   * Fixed bug in all ATL_PAFF_SELF implementations of affinity
   * Fixed bug in ATL_PAFF_SCHED affinity implementation
   * Fixed several bugs for when your affinity IDs are not contiguous
   * Fixed bug in gmmsearch.c, where lat was set to bad value in K-unroll search
   * Fixed l2install targs to ignore problems in deleting old values

Done in r76407. Thanks.

Crap, crap, crap - SORRY - I just noticed that my 3.9.37 failed with a weird error. I think it is due to a conflict with the installed atlas. I'll test ASAP this morning and update! (I think that they may have changed more than is in the changelog!) :-(

Vince, as this is not an openmaintainer port you should not have committed without giving the maintainer 3 days to respond.

[Veence (Vincent)]

I know, I did that because the .37 fixed critical bugs, and so I deemed urgent to upgrade ASAP. We can revert to the previous version if needed.

I'm currently doing a fresh rebuild and clean to see if the build problem goes away. I did a diff between the last (.35) and current (.37) versions in MacPorts, and there are quite a number of changes.

I've been building since this morning; it takes hours, unfortunately.

Again, this is my fault for mistakenly thinking that my build had finished (too many terminals open at once).

It is a good question, though... the .37 won't build, but the .35 is buggy... what to do? I'll post when my build finishes.

This ticket was for the update to 3.9.37, which has been accomplished.

The build failures now being encountered with 3.9.37 can be handled in new ticket #28512.
