The obvious libraries are cernlib and the data acquisition libraries libcomedi and libgpib (and the clhep2 unofficial package). > For a lambda user, applications and libraries are two very different > things. > I don't know lambda. > I would like to know if we could create a -dev tasks for each category > and move libraries into. Can you add the libraries in question to the physics wiki page and the physics task (or post here and I can do it). I think that it is useful to subdivide the physics task, but that the subdivision should be upon area of science. Thus a particle physics library should be alongside particle physics applications. My rationale is that I want to find packages relevant to areas of science I'm interested in. The library/non-library distinction is orthogonal to this - and I think less useful - but I'm very willing to be convinced otherwise. If managed to classify the science packages with the right debtags, it would be possible to have both views of the world - but we haven't got that yet.
