actually I am from applied math and I work in a laboratory whose themes are
sciences of computing which is pretty broad (ordinary/partial differential
equation, dynamical systems, geometry and images, statistics, ...)
My main interest is to solve PDEs. To do this a broad range of software is
needed (CAD, mesh generation, graph, linear solvers, nonlinear solvers, ode
solvers, visualisation,...). My point of view would then often be given from
the applied math angle.

| Christophe, is pkg-scicomp suitable for Andreas plans?

The layout is different in pkg-scicomp repo: there is no particular
categorisation. I don't mind blitz going in pkg-science. In my mind it
certainly fits better in pkg-scicomp but I understand that other people see
things(repo software, science "categories",..) differently and I am
definitely very happy to see blitz maintained in Debian.
Regarding blitz, I often use blitz and I am quite knowledgeable in the
underlying techniques. Let me know if you need some help.
| With respect to the packaging policy
| http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2008/05/msg00029.html (for
| pkg-science or whatever it turns into), for the sake of simplicity, I
| would suggest to adopt and adapt the Debian Med existing policy:
| http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/docs/policy.html
|
| Please, people in charge (Christophe, Sylvestre), clarify those
| questions. And as I already stated in
| http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2008/01/msg00035.html I would
| be happy to join whichever group.
you have been added to pkg-scicomp. Feel free to subscribe to the mailing
lists.
Best regards
C.
