Bug#825538: ITP: clapack -- Basic Linear Algebra Reference implementations library

[Andreas Tille]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Andreas Tille <tille at debian.org>

* Package name    : clapack
  Version         : 3.2.1
  Upstream Author : The University of Tennessee
* URL             : http://www.netlib.org/clapack/
* License         : BSD
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : Basic Linear Algebra Reference implementations library
 CLAPACK a comprehensive FORTRAN library that does linear algebra
 operations including matrix inversions, least squared solutions to
 linear sets of equations, eigenvector analysis, singular value
 decomposition, etc. It is a very comprehensive and reputable package
 that has found extensive use in the scientific community.


Remark:

As it was discussed on the Debian Science mailing list[1] there are good
reasons[2] to prefer lapacke over clapack.  Since some upstreams are
relying on clapack anyway and the effort of porting from clapack to
lapacke might be to hard it is here provided as well.  Please try to
teach upstream to switch to lapacke to consolidate the code base to only
one implementation.
