Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "lbfgsb"
* Package name : lbfgsb
Version : 3.0-1
Upstream Author : Ciyou Zhu, Richard Byrd, Jorge Nocedal and Jose Luis
Morales
* URL : http://users.iems.northwestern.edu/~nocedal/lbfgsb.html
* License : BSD-3-clause
Section : math
It builds these binary packages:
liblbfgsb-dev - Limited-memory quasi-Newton bound-constrained
optimization (static library)
liblbfgsb0 - Limited-memory quasi-Newton bound-constrained
optimization
liblbfgsb0-dbg - Limited-memory quasi-Newton bound-constrained
optimization (debug symbols)
Note that upstream's tarball [1] contains precompiled binaries, and is
also a minor tarbomb. I have therefore repackaged it. You will find
that my orig tarball is a strict subset of upstream's.
My package includes two patches:
- replace-linpack-with-lapack.patch: The library code originally uses
LINPACK (from an embedded copy). Since LINPACK has largely been
superseded by LAPACK, this patch replaces calls to the former with
equivalent calls to the latter. Specifically, dpofa is replaced by
dpotrf, and dtrsl is replaced by dtrtrs.
- silence.patch: The library's documentation indicates that it will
only write out messages when the iprint flag is greater than
zero. There are two places where writing still happens
unconditionally, which this patch fixes. A similar patch was also
applied by the SciPy project (see their issue 3238).
I've used the patched package on and off for the past few years and
have not encountered problems.
To access further information about this package, please visit the following
URL:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/lbfgsb
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/lbfgsb/lbfgsb_3.0-1.dsc
More information about lbfgsb can be obtained from [2].

Hi, I sponsored, but please make the package multiarch in your next upload.
bonus point if you provide me a -2 entry multiarch ready
https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation
I also refactored a little bit the package, I'm attaching the debian directory
to this email
also for the next upload, please enable harderning
https://wiki.debian.org/HardeningWalkthrough
BTW I'm not really sure about the pdf files, maybe you can consider adding them
in a -doc
package.
and they might be source of reject because they aren't enough "source files"
thanks for your contribution to Debian!
cheers
Gianfranco

Hi again,
I believe I've addressed the issues you raised now (3.0+dfsg.1-1,
[1]). The watch file with repacking currently does *not* use
Files-Excluded, but rather Ben Finney's repack scripts [2]. I'm
guessing the Files-Excluded method is preferable, but I wasn't
thinking straight when I made the change. Please let me know if it's
preferable to have it that way.
