> Interestingly, it now includes Qhull for triangulations. This is an
optional Sage package, but maybe after this upgrade we wouldn't need it as
that any more? (Of course, version rot could be a problem.)
I have looked a little bit more in depth at that. I noticed that in Gentoo
scipy-0.9.0 now pulls qhull as a dependency. If there a version of
libqhull.{so,a} on the system it will be used rather than the internally
built static library. Said static library is not installed by scipy just
rolled up in their created module.
In summary this version of scipy includes libqhull functionality (as far
as scipy uses it at least) but doesn't provide the qhull library or any of
the executables built by qhull normally.
Depending on what you want to do I think that means you don't want to
remove qhull from the optional spkg unless you want to force access to its
functionality through the scipy interface.
For info it also bundles superLU from experimental in the same way.
