Hi all, I'm trying now to adjust Cernlib build dependencies for the new blas and lapack packages as the gfortran transition progresses.
My understanding is this (leaving aside ATLAS for now to omit additional complications): 1) Build-dependencies, and dependencies of Cernlib -dev packages, should look like this: Depends: refblas3-dev (>= 1.2-9) | libblasgf-3.so Depends: lapack3-dev (>= 3.1.1-0.1) | liblapackgf-3.so 2) Packages that want to manually depend upon BLAS or LAPACK runtime libraries (not devel files) without using shlibs should have deps like this: Depends: refblas3gf | libblasgf.so.3 Depends: lapack3gf | liblapackgf.so.3 Can someone please verify that these are the correct forms? In particular, I just downloaded the refblas3gf 1.2-9 .deb and saw that it Provides: libblasgf.so.3. But at http://lists.debian.org/debian-toolchain/2007/10/msg00024.html , Matthias mentioned that the shlibs for refblas3gf look like this: > atlas3gf-base | refblas3gf | libblas.so.3gf [Note that here the gf is after the .so.3, but in the Provides line I mentioned before, the gf is before the .so.3] Is this a mistake in typing, or is the shlibs line in fact actually mis-matched to the Provides? If the latter, I guess it needs to be fixed... And the question is open as to whether the lapack Provides/shlibs ended up being liblapackgf.so.3 or liblapack.so.3gf ... ? (Guess I could wait until it gets through NEW and find out on my own...) best regards, -- Kevin B.
