Bug#977361: ITP: mathlib -- Library for correctly-rounded transcendental functions

[Cyril Bouvier <Cyril.Bouvier@lirmm.fr>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Cyril Bouvier <Cyril.Bouvier@lirmm.fr>

* Package name    : mathlib
  Version         : 2.1.0
  Upstream Author : Abraham Ziv <ziv@il.ibm.com>
* License         : GPL-2.0+
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : Library for correctly-rounded transcendental functions

This set of C functions compute standard common transcendental mathematical
functions. The computed results are the exact theoretical values correctly
rounded (nearest or even) to the closest number representable by the IEEE 754
double format.


I wish to package this library as a dependency for another package I wish to add
in Debian: Ibex (http://ibex-lib.org/), a C++ library for constraint processing
over real numbers.

This is my first time packaging for Debian, I will probably need a sponsor and
I intend to file a RFS later.
