[Pkg-julia-devel] Bug#905826: ILP64 interface of openblas?

[Mo Zhou]

Package: julia
Version: 1.0.1-2

Hi Sebastien, do you have any plan to add ILP64 interface to OpenBLAS?
I acknowledge that bumping BLAS interface from LP64 to ILP64 is really a
hardwork under Debian's context, and will take a long time to transit.

If there is not much necessity to provide ILP64 interface by the OpenBLAS
package, we can ship one in Julia's source tarball.

ILP64 is already the default interface if one builds Julia against
MKL using Debian's packaging script.
