Public bug reported: Ubuntu doesn't include D. J. Bernstein's primegen, which can generate primes larger than 2**32. The default $(which primes) complains about such numbers being too large. Also, Bernstein's generator is (according to himself) the second-fastest in the world, and I doubt that $(which primes) is the fastest ;)
Bernstein has released all his code into the public domain (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3147768955127254412&hl=en). The project page is http://cr.yp.to/primegen.html. It links to the source, http://cr.yp.to/primegen/primegen-0.97.tar.gz. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: needs-packaging -- primegen needs packaging https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237582 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
