Source: python-scipy Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
python-scipy bundles Fortran code for L-BFGS-B minimization in scipy/optimize/lbfgsb/*.f. The code comes from outside the SciPy project [1], and I believe it is useful as a standalone library and that the python-scipy package should remove the included copy. Additionally, the included copy of lbfgsb bundles its own copy of LINPACK, which as far as I understand is deprecated in favor of LAPACK. Following this bugreport I propose a patch for lbfgsb that makes it use the system LAPACK instead.
