Hi all,
I'm in the process of updating the blas/lapack system in Gentoo.
I took the opportunity to upgrade and cleanup all blas/cblas/lapack
packages. The changes are a switch to the new style virtuals,
installation of pkg-config files, but mainly a lot of testing and fixing.
Following an earlier thread [1] on merging blas and cblas, I decided not
to do it to allow combinations such as acml(blas) + cblas-reference
(cblas) or even gsl(cblas) which does not even depend on blas.
Since there are many changes and blas/lapack are essential to a lot of
Gentoo packages, they are in the science overlay [2] for pre-commit.
I would be grateful if many people test them before I commit them to
portage and ask for stabilization. Report by replying to this thread, or
emailing directly to me.
Some early draft documentation can be found in [3].
Comments welcome!
Thanks,
Sébastien Fabbro
