Hi, I just put together an ebuild for the xmds package (http://xmds.sourceforge.net) which I submitted as bug#217009. xmds is a code generater for easily solving systems of differential equations. It is often used in the physics community (mainly quantum optics currently), however is useful in other scientific disciplines as well (basically anywhere where one needs to solve differential equations numerically).
What I'm looking for is some feedback about the ebuild. It seems fairly bare-bones and I'm wondering if there's anything I've missed out which needs doing. Also, in the bug report I've suggested sci-misc as a possible categorisation, however I'm wondering if it should be placed in sci-physics. I'm helping out with part of the upstream development and was also wondering if I have to maintain the ebuild or if someone would like to take over maintainership/sponsorship of the package. It would be great to get xmds into Gentoo! Many thanks in advance for your help! Paul -- [email protected] mailing list
