Hi, I think I'll have time to at least manage the team around these packages, i.e. have them in the Debian Scientific Computation Team with the team as the maintainer and current maintainer (Camm) as an uploader, and start slowly fixing the packaging to have just one debian directory with debian/patches containing clear patches with description what they do.
Here is the repo: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-scicomp/atlas/?rev=0&sc=0 the package builds in pbuilder, so all is fine. I'll see what is the best way to achieve the goal. One approach is to generate quilt patches using the current packaging, but I fear it will be easier to start from scratch, with the new upstream version. In this case, I'll probably create a testing repo just for this and I'll ask some DD to upload it to experimental, so that we can all try it and improve it. And use the old repo to fix possible (RC) bugs with the current packaging in unstable. And I am sure people will join in. In the Debian Scientific Computation Team we use svn, so let's just use svn. If the whole team migrates to git, we'll migrate to git, otherwise not, so that all the packages are at one place. And I'll do the same with lapack and blas. I'll be out of town till Sunday, but then I'll work on it. Ondrej -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
