Re: [MoM] packaging gjh_asl_json (Was: Short Introduction)
Hi Andrei,
sorry for the long delay which should remain untypical in a MoM project.
My weekend was occupied by real life and yesterday was a busy day.

Ahhh, I was hoping that we will start with something simple but that's
for sure a new challenge. Inside the packaging process you are not
allowed to download anything. Code that is needed needs to be packaged
separately. Usually you are lucky with this kind of scientific software
and so I tried to seek for it by
apt-file search asl_pfg.h
apt-file search avltree.h
apt-file search jac2dim.h
Seeking this way in packages usually reveals in what package the header
files are available. I'm mentioning this to explain what I'm using -
in the most cases successfully but it has no results so far. However,
I've got something via
apt-cache search netlib
shows that this is somehow related to the Basic Linear Algebra system
maintained in the Debian Science team. I admit I'm not very well
educated about this. To be sure I'd recommend to ask for advise there.

Yes, building a separate package netlib-ampl-solvers (or something like
this) might be necessary - but I'd advise to ask for more opinions on
Debian Science list. This is also sensible in the MoM project to enable
you learning about those teams that might help you in your projects.

Hope to be more responsive in the next couple of days.
Kind regards
Andreas.
