Hi Adam,
I'll write a more detailed reply about vis. later.
I've packaged Metis and received permission from
its author for distribution in debian.
I request for sponsorship of metis packages and
forthcoming hmetis and parmetis packages.
You may find the initial metis packages at
http://borg.cs.bilkent.edu.tr/~exa/debian/
Please inspect them, and I'll fix possible errors
on your report.
FYI, I'm quoting the sponsorship howto from
http://www.internatif.org/bortzmeyer/debian/sponsor/
Especially the last item is important for me, I'd
be very glad if you could write a mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] about my work since
I've been waiting for DAM approval.
Sponsorship HOWTO
-----------------
* download the package produced by the future developer
* completely check the package and explain all the mistakes to the future
developer
* let him provide a corrected version
* check it again and upload the package to Incoming if it's ok. For recompiling,
assuming you are "Happy Sponsor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>", use dpkg-buildpackage
-rfakeroot -m'Happy Sponsor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'. Then, you can simply dupload.
* speak a bit with the future developer about what he wants to do for Debian and
about his motivation.
* send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] telling them that the candidate
successfully packaged XX
(which is in Incoming) and that he also wants to do YY for Debian (if he told you
something of course !).
