Yes, that's the whole idea. The names 'lapack' and 'blas' are just symlinks to whatever library implements them, like the reference libraries, or ATLAS, or perhaps at a later stage MKL. > On a related topic, I noticed that sci-libs/atlas is still being developed, > isn't it deprecated?

In the stable tree sci-libs/atlas is the only atlas package available. lapack-atlas is currently still masked, but the idea is to perform the transition soon and phase out sci-libs/atlas. Peter
