  Description : Fortran Documentation tool

The goal of FORD is to be able to reliably produce documentation for modern
Fortran software which is informative and nice to look at. The documentation
should be easy to write and non-obtrusive within the code. While it will never
be as feature-rich as Doxygen, hopefully FORD will be able to provide a good
alternative for documenting Fortran projects.

Ford is already used (if present) by several projects packaged in Debian.

I intend to manage it in Salsa; perhaps in Debian-Science team.

* Users can easily add their own symbolic entities to do calculations

Pymbolic currently understands regular arithmetic expressions, derivatives,
sparse polynomials, fractions, term substitution, expansion. It automatically
performs constant folding, and it can compile its expressions into Python
bytecode for fast(er) execution.

It is not expected to be a replacement for Sympy, which is more complex.

  Description : Source-to-source code translator for Fortran

Loki is an experimental tool to explore the possible use of
source-to-source translation for ECMWF's Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) and
associated Fortran software packages.

Loki is based on compiler technology (visitor patterns and ASTs) and aims to
provide an abstract, language-agnostic representation of a kernel, as well as a
programmable (pythonic) interface that allows developers to experiment with
different kernel implementations and optimizations.  The aim is to allow changes
to programming models and coding styles to be encoded and automated instead of
hand-applying them, enabling advanced experimentation with large kernels as well
as bulk processing of large numbers of source files to evaluate different kernel
implementations and programming models.

This software is now in use beyond ECMWF, and I intend to work
and develop it with other Fortran environments in Debian.
I intend to maintain it within Debian Science team as part of the
Meteorology stack.

As Loki is a pre-existing name in Debian, I intend to follow
convention and rename the package loki-ecmwf.

Hi Alastair, note that namespace FIAT is occupied by the python 
package python3-fiat (src:fiat), used by python3-ffc and related 
FEniCS/Dolfin packages (python3-dolfin etc).


We could consider moving FEniCS FIAT to src:fenics-fiat, but perhaps 
that is administrative overkill. On the other hand I did do that for 
other FEniCS components for the next generation fenicsx. I didn't 
change the source package name for components of old fenics on the 
grounds that they are in a sense deprecated and could be removed in 
the future.  Removal would be in the far future though, since some 
groups are still using old fenics for calculations.  To complicate the 
point further, while the new fenicsx library no longer uses FEniCS 
FIAT, it is being developed further by the firedrake project at 
https://github.com/firedrakeproject/fiat (Debian has not packaged 
firedrake itself yet).


Alternatively your FIAT could be src:ecmwf-fiat.

Which naming solution looks best for you?

Drew


Hi Drew

Thanks. I hadn't spotted that with "apt-cache search fiat" missing src:fiat.

My preference is for "fiat-ecmwf", as there is a consistency with 
"atlas-ecmwf" and "silo-llnl"

  Programming Lang: C
  Description : Scientific Compression Library (SCIL)

The Scientific Compression Library (SCIL) is a  meta-compressor that allows 
users
to set various quantities that define the acceptable error and the expected 
performance behavior.
The library aims to choose the appropriate chain of algorithms to yield the 
users requirements
(this feature is still under development). This approach is a crucial step 
towards a
scientifically safe use of much-needed lossy data compression, because it 
disentangles the tasks
of determining scientific ground characteristics of tolerable noise, from the 
task of
determining an optimal compression strategy given target noise levels and 
constraints.
Future algorithms are used without change in the application code, once they 
are integrated into SCIL.
SCIL also comes with a pattern library to generate various relevant synthetic 
test patterns.
Further tools are provided to plot, add noise or to compress CSV and NetCDF3 
files.
Internally, support functions simplify the development of new algorithms and 
the testing.

This is then an optional dependency of ESDM, also being packaged.

Hi,

I've been told UCX is now the default, for openmpi 4.0*

See: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=962180

Is there some performance work to point to ?

  Description : C++ toolkit for ECMWF tools and Applications

ecKit is a cross-platform c++ toolkit that supports development of tools and 
applications at ECMWF. It is based on code developed over the last 20 years 
within the MARS software and was re-factored out to be reused by other 
applications. It provides a an abstraction layer on top of the operating 
system, so it is easier to port code to new architectures. It is developed 
taking into account the robustness requirements of running production systems 
at ECMWF. The main focus is UNIX/POSIX systems, and it has been thoroughly 
tested on AIX, Linux and Mac OSX. Historically, the code base pre-dates and in 
some way can be seen as a leaner substitute for some 'Boost' libraries.

It features facilities to easily handle, in a cross-platform way:

multi-threading
json and yaml parsing
object serialization and persistence
configuration of user options and resources
file-system abstraction
regular expressions
socket networking
http protocol
type-to-type conversions
asynchronous IO
asynchronous processing
exception handling and stack dumping
MPI object-oriented wrapper
linear algebra abstraction with multiple backends (BLAS, MKL, Armadillo, 
Eigen3)
advanced container classes
space partition trees
file-mapped arrays


libeckit is currently already used in several ECMWF packages on Debian 
(metview, odb-api) and provided in odb-api.
This will refactor it out as a shared library.

Bug#395573: RFP: visit -- interactive parallel visualization and graphical analysis tool

Hi,

Sorry about the delay in repsonding.

I'm not currently actively working on visit; (I did some checks this week).

You can see my current work at: 
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/visit/tree/debian/master


Basically, VisIt doesn't build against  VTK6 or VTK7 as in Debian at the 
moment. I had been waiting on changes to VTK


(There was a plan possibly to move to VTK8), but this has stalled;

(See 
https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=debian-scie...@lists.debian.org=subject:%22Re%5C%3A+Skip+VTK7+and+go+directly+VTK8%5C%3F+Was%5C%3A+Re%5C%3A+vtk6+and+vtk7%22=newest=1) 



It appears that work on VTK 7 / VTK8 has stalled due to lack of need for 
a new VTK8 from other users in Debian. If I get the time, I might 
investigate what needs to be done, but this is unlikely at the moment,


Regards

Thats what I had planned but the NetCDF maintainer(s) feel the changes

I'm working on resolving these issues (mostly requiring versioned

Hi Steffen,

Sorry for taking so long to respond.

Packaging VisIt was delayed waiting for 'the correct VTK' to be packaged

Hello Alastair,

this morning I received the request to make VisIt available on a bunch of
Debian (Jessie at the moment, but perhaps Stretch too within a few months)
machines, by one of our brightest scientists. I simply cannot deny this.

Incidentally, I had started to try to package VisIt (2.12.3) myself, starting
with the "official" build script and a pbuilder with "--usenetwork yes".
I had added a number of build dependencies, only to fail at the VTK build
stage. It turned out that the Xt was missing, but I didn't pursue this any
further because I had spotted your IFP/RFP (bug #395573)...

So I went ahead and cloned your debian-build git repository - only to find
that the last version possibly supported would have been 2.9... I used that
debian/ tree to build my own, still with 2.12.3 in mind, and gradually added
build-depends. I'm stuck now because something in the build process thinks
it would be nice to have python3 support, but there is no python3-vtk6, and
that's it. Is it, really? (This seems to be connected to the change that
included python3 into python-all-dev. Why there's no python3-vtk6, I don't
know, there seems to be no easy way to create one.)

I found that Ole Streicher had already asked for the status of the project
but didn't get a (public) answer. Perhaps I'm luckier. May I learn what
stopped you from working on this build, and what your suggestions are?

For now, I'll continue to iterate over the missing X libraries, perhaps
I'll be successful in the end. (I won't be happy because this "usenetwork"
setting is a horrible kludge, but on the other hand, the whole VisIt build
process seems to be. I need to accept that, sooner or later.)

Thanks,

Bug#868013: Fwd: Re: gcc7 transition and dh_fortran

2017-07-31 Thread Alastair McKinstry
Dear Jakub,

I'm contacting you as you would probably know best who is responsible
for gfortran in Redhat and know who best to contact amongst the gcc
upstream.

I'm working on a helper package for Debian packaging of Fortran
libraries; it tracks .mod files and their versions. The primary aim is
to track when we need to rebuild due to gfortran transitions (mod format
changes), but there is a also a related issue due to other compilers,
such as the new flang compiler.

That is, mod files from different compilers and versions are
incompatible. At the moment we place these in Debian in /usr/include,
but this is impossible if we have two incompatible fortran compilers
(gfortran and flang).

I am proposing that we use /usr/include/fortran/$compiler/$version

For different compiler versions, and that this path be automatically
searched by the compiler.

I see a similar discussion here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1192617

Are you aware of any conclusions or similar proposals? who do you think
I should be contacting ?

best regards

Alastair McKinstry

Yes. I had thought that the transition involved a mod file change; it

2017-07-11 Thread Alastair McKinstry
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Alastair McKinstry <mckins...@debian.org>

* Package name: dh-fortran-mod

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=debian-science/packages/dh-fortran-mod.git
* License : GPL3
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : debhelper add-on to handle Fortran '.mod' files

 Modules were introduced in the 1990 revision of the Fortran standard. When the
 Fortran compiler processes a source file containing a module, it produces both
 an object file and a '.mod' file. The latter plays a role similar to header
 files in C, since it is needed when compiling other source files which make
 use of the module.
 .
 The '.mod' files are however platform dependent, and their format changes with
 the gfortran version
 .
 This package provides the dh_fortran_mod command, which simplifies th
 inclusion of '.mod' files in binary packages. First, it places the '.mod
 files in the correct platform- and gfortran-dependent location. Second, it
 adds the right dependency information on gfortran version(s).
 .
 Inclusion of dh_fortran_mod in dh sequence is also provided under the name
 'fortran_mod'.
 .
 This package was originally developed by Sebastien Vilemont.

 Fortran expressions. It is however, less mature than fparser.

 must be in HDF5 format. PnetCDF is currently the only choice for carrying
 out parallel I/O on files that are in classic formats (CDF-1 and 2).
 .
 In addition, PnetCDF supports the CDF-5 file format, an extension of CDF-2,
 that supports more data types and allows users to define large dimensions,
 attributes, and variables (>2B elements).
 .
 This package will be used as a dependency of the NetCDF package already present
 in Debian to provide additional functionality, and when stable will be
 co-maintained in the Debian GIS project.

Hash: SHA256

Hi,

Definitely interested in this, and I wish to see it in Stretch.

I need to re-organise some code in the Debian Meteorology project once
the GCC5 ( + netcdf + hdf5) transitions are though.
OASIS3 is a user-used library (not used by code within Debian yet but by
users) has been replaced by OASIS3MCT.
The MCT part is the Model Coupling Toolkit from ESMF. Similarly OASIS3
ships the SCRIP interpolation library that I believe is also shipped in
ESMF (Need to re-check).

And we need to ship libcf.

 could you please help Christophe Trophime and me in finding the git
 repository where you uploaded your packaging work?

 I could not find it listed in
 https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/

 I did find:
 https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-visit/
 but the SCM Repository link takes me to
 https://alioth.debian.org/scm/?group_id=100926
 which is apparently accessible for alioth registered users only.
 This is strange...

 After logging in to Alioth, I could view the page describing the access
 to the git repository: it mentions the Developer Git Access via SSH,
 which is claimed to be for project developers only, and then
 illustrates the Git Repository Browser with a link to
 https://alioth.debian.org/scm/browser.php?group_id=100926
 which, however, shows a

 404 - No such project


 Now I am really puzzled: where is the git repository?:-/

 Please let us know.
 Thanks for your time!

Hash: SHA256

Hi,

Relevant to this ITP a discussion on debian-science (see the link from
the wiki  here:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/Meteorology ).

Its important that the python/netcdf objects we use are compatible.
Is python-netcdf4 compatible with scipy netcdf ? can /should they be merged?

Can we track the details on the wiki?

regards
Alastair

Bug#766859: RFH: openmpi -- high performance message passing library -- header files

Hi Sylvestre,

I'm willing to step in as co-maintainer if you wish. We use and support
OpenMPI
at the supercomputing centre where I work (www.ichec.ie).

If possible I would like to get the current patches enabled in jessie
(especially #752785 which I wrote, as it enables functionality already
added to mpich).

regards
Alastair

 Hello,

 I am no longer using OpenMPI and the other co maintainer is no really

 It would be nice to have someone who cares about OpenMPI helping in its
 maintenance. It is not an hard package to maintain and it is quite
interesting.

 So, I request assistance with maintaining the openmpi package.

 The package description is:
  Open MPI is a project combining technologies and resources from
several other
  projects (FT-MPI, LA-MPI, LAM/MPI, and PACX-MPI) in order to build
the best

  This package contains the header files and compiler wrappers which

Hi Alastair,

We still haven't started with source packages - but the code is all at
github now - so you can definitely play around with what we've got.

  https://github.com/irods/irods

We are still moving stuff around quite a bit in the run up to 4.0 in
March (we're on 4.0.0b1 right now), but I think after that, we will be a
better candidate for getting into Debian upstream.

Any help / assistance you want to provide would be great.  I've not
packaged anything for upstream before, so I look forward to working
together to make it a reality.

Thanks,

Terrell

 We at RENCI have been working on packaging iRODS/E-iRODS for the last
 few months.  We released our second beta this week.

   http://e-irods.org/release/e-irods-beta-2-is-released/

 We are not yet lintian clean, but we are close and hope to start the
 eventual process of getting our software into the Debian upstream.
 Is it possible to get the source package? I can only see the .deb files
 in the ftp site.

 best regards

 Since you are named as the owner of this intent to package bug, I
wanted
 to let you know of our progress.  We are working closely with the DICE
 group, original authors and maintainers of the iRODS community code
base.

 Thank you,

Bug#395573: visit: changing back from ITP to RFP

2014-07-30 Thread Alastair McKinstry
This is a note to say I have been working on visit packaging, but am
unlikely to complete
before December due to completing a PhD.  VisIt packaging has been
mostly delayed
awaiting vtk6 to be properly integrated and packaged in Debian (thus not
requiring
a separate visit-vtk).

I have uploaded my work to date to alioth.debian.org (pkg-visit) where
is can be downloaded
via git.debian.org:/git/pkg-visit/pkg-visit.git

regards
Alastair McKinstry

 Hi,

 A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging visit. Unfortunately,
 it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
 for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
 refrain from packaging the software.

 This is an automatic email to change the status of visit back from ITP
 (Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
 any activity during the last 12 months.

 If you are still interested in packaging visit, please send a mail to
 cont...@bugs.debian.org with:

 It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
 time, by mailing 395...@bugs.debian.org.  If you need guidance on how to
 package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
 debian-ment...@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Bug#732290: ITP: pyferret -- Python encapsulation of the Ferret data analysis and visualization toolkit

* License : Ferret License Agreement (BSD-like)
  Programming Lang: python, C
  Description : Python encapsulation of the Ferret data analysis and 
visualization toolkit

PyFerret is a Python module wrapping Ferret.  The pyferret module provides 
Python functions so Python users can easily take advantage of the Ferret's 
abilities to retrieve, manipulate, visualize, and save data.  There are also 
functions to move data between Python and the Ferret engine.   Python scripts 
used as Ferret external functions.

But PyFerret can also be used as a transparent replacement for the traditional 
Ferret executable.  A simple script starts Python and enters the pyferret 
module, giving the traditional Ferret interface.  This script also support all 
of Ferret's command-line options.

Inside the PyFerret wrapper is a complete, but enhanced Ferret engine.  One 
very noticeable enhancement is improved graphics which can be saved in common 
image formats.  (Sorry, no more GKS metafiles.)  Also, PyFerret comes packaged 
with many new statistical and shapefile function which are, in fact, Python 
scripts making use of third-party Python modules.

No, I've just been delayed by trying to finish my PhD ...

There was some work in progress to merge / update VTK so that

I should at least put my work in alioth,etc so someone else could take over.

 On the wiki page, I see no blocking stuff to prevent Visit to be

 It was great to spot your ITP for iRODS.  Having iRODS properly packaged

 thus we, NeuroDebian project (http://neuro.debian.net), are interested

 and provide backport builds of it for compatible Debian and Ubuntu
 releases from our NeuroDebian repository.

 are you going to maintain it alone, or under some dedicated or public
 (e.g. debian-science) team?

 Keep on great work, cheers!
We're using it here locally at ICHEC (www.ichec.ie) for climate data.
I'm hoping to get the clients packaged soon first but unlikely to get it
in the next
release of Debian (wheezy) as it is just about frozen and iRODS is not a
small package -
i'd expect to hit issues.

My plan is to get an irods-client package thats got the irods clients
first, then
proceed to add more packages (from the same source) with the server, etc.
have you a particular functionality that is a priority for you?

Bug#644096: ITP: vistrails -- Scientific visualisation workflow tool

2011-10-02 Thread Alastair McKinstry
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Alastair McKinstry mckins...@debian.org

* Package name: vistrails
  Version : 2.0.alpha
  Upstream Author : U. of Utah cont...@vistrails.org
* URL : http://www.vistrails.org
* License : BSD
  Programming Lang: python
  Description : Scientific visualisation workflow tool

 VisTrails is an open-source scientific workflow and provenance management
 system developed at the University of Utah that provides support for
 data exploration and visualization. Whereas workflows have been traditionally
 used to automate repetitive tasks, for applications that are exploratory
 in nature, such as simulations, data analysis and visualization, very little
 is repeated---change is the norm. As an engineer or scientist generates and
 evaluates hypotheses about data under study, a series of different, albeit
 related, workflows are created while a workflow is adjusted in an interactive
 process. VisTrails was designed to manage these rapidly-evolving workflows.
