Package: openblas
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Please apply the attached patch to enable openblas to provide pkgconfig files
for blas, lapack.
This patch uses alternatives to alias blas-openblas.pc and lapack-openblas.pc
to blas.pc and lapack.pc respectively, enabling you to link either with
openBLAS either 'generically' or expliclity.
While I plan to get these patches into upstream, both Gentoo and Fedora have
already got blas.pc and lapack.pc and this functionality would be very
convenient.
