Please, consider including GMSH into Wheezy.
GMSH is a mesh generator, which is used for preparation of
meshes for different simulation and modelling tasks.

Unfortunately it is affected by a license issue because of opencascade
license GPL-incompatibility #617931, like some other packages,
which are still in Wheezy.

But the license question has a chance to be some day resolved.
It will be pity, if the next stable release will loose such important
for scientists and engineers package.

Thanks.

Anton

This would mean adding a new package to testing, which is something
we're not doing at this stage (except for rare occasions).

It was caught in the oh-so-painful petsc transition, and was RC buggy,
if that sheds some light on the reason why it was removed.

I don't see us unblock this package, especially since the licensing
issue isn't solved at the moment. Closing this bug report accordingly.
