Hi Ólafur, Thanks for the email. I helped with abinit some years ago when some people from CEA Grenoble approached me to put abinit in Debian. I have personnally no use of abinit and I haven't the time to look into it. I CC the debian science list to see if someone there would be able to help with abinit anyone ?
For information abinit is a software for ab-initio numerical simulation and is one of the leading software in this area. I believe that there is a strong community behind it.
