Re: RFS: lmfit

[Thibaut Paumard <mlotpot.news@free.fr>]

Hi,

Have you sent an ITP?

Unfortunately I don't think lmfit is... fit for Debian (yet): I  
believe it is a Debian policy to not accept libraries which are not  
used by any application in Debian.

Furthermore, lmfit is only a tiny little bit of (useful) software. It  
will have a hard time surviving this cruel world. If you want to  
attract more users, I would suggest that you try to get it included in  
a larger scientific library (e.g. the GSL).

Best regards, Thibaut.
