<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I am writing this email because I am currently working on
cleaning up the intel</p>
<p>packages in gentoo and was asking for details on how the debian
packages are made.</p>
<p>Specifically I was wondering on which binary sources are used for
creating the packages</p>
<p>There seem to be multiple versions and splits of software from
intel.</p>
<p>The gentoo mkl-rt package was originally made by Mo Zhou, who
used continuum sources</p>
<p>as the binary base. I am not sure how continuum builds its
packages.</p>
<p>genoo has another tree at gentoo science, which uses intel
parallel studio as the binary</p>
<p>base and then builds sub packages from that, like the icc, ifc,
mkl packages.</p>
<p>Now there are 3 diferent versions of parallel studio - composer,
professional and cluster.</p>
<p>The details about the differences between them are not well
documented and it is possible <br>
</p>
<p>that mixing them together is going to be a problem (I am not
sure).</p>
<p>So it would be nice to know which ones are used in your packages,
so that we may follow</p>
<p>suite to make things a bit uniform across platforms.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks a lot,<br>
</p>
