Package: libblis2
Version: 0.5.1-1
Severity: important
The combinatorial builds are good (and I hope they're repeated for
openblas), but they need to be installable in parallel, and the default
should be serial because anything else is unsafe. The Fedora openblas
and blis packages allow that.
Considering some Debian packages: cp2k wants the serial version (see
cp2k.org), numpy apparently needs pthreads (see the openblas changelog),
and I might want OpenMP for linear algebra-heavy R (absent some
higher-level parallelization, like pbdR). In some cases, like cp2k, you
might want to be able to enforce a version via the soname or rpath. In
others, like different usages of R, you might want to switch with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_PRELOAD in different circumstances.
