[Francesco Ballarin]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Francesco Ballarin 
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org, debian-science@lists.debian.org, 
francesco.balla...@unicatt.it

* Package name: adios4dolfinx
  Version : 0.7.3
  Upstream Contact: Jørgen S. Dokken 
* URL : http://jsdokken.com/adios4dolfinx/
* License : MIT
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : ADIOS2Wrappers for DOLFINx

adios4dolfinx is an extension for DOLFINx to checkpoint meshes, meshtags
and functions using ADIOS2.

The code uses the adios2 Python-wrappers to write DOLFINx objects to file,
supporting N-to-M (recoverable) and N-to-N (snapshot) checkpointing.

For scalability, the code uses MPI Neighbourhood collectives for communication
across processes.

The package will be maintained within the Debian Science team, in
collaboration with Drew Parsons.

Agreed. I'll wait a couple more days to see if the person I asked
replies, and after that I'll post to the debian-python list.

Yes, sorry, I confused the two REAMDEs. I was thinking about README.source

Will do. It will probably be easier to explain what I was trying to
say once I've actually done it, so if needed we'll come back to this
point after I've started working on it.

Will do, thanks!


I'll keep you up to date on the progress,

cheers,
