Re: Paraview status
Andreas
pkg-scicomp is active. I uploaded gmsh and some other packages recently. It is just that my agenda is extra full.
Others from pkg-scicomp have been working too.
Sylvestre and I have been discussing the merging of pkg-scicomp in Debian science.˙
I think that the way to go. I certainly don't have the time to do myself but I can give my support for a few things.
I claim that we have done a great job at packaging and disseminating scientific computing software. Some of them are major software in my area of expertise.
I recognize however that we need one big umbrella for this to work in the long run and help for the entire Debian/Science community
Now if there is a takeover of our packages by Debian-science, I would appreciate that is done gently and keep people
from pkg-scicomp in the loop. There are packages that are very important for my and my work (paraview, gmsh, trilinos, ....)
regarding paraview I have done the 3.6.1 package for some time now with a split of the package. I had issues with the
python interface and hdf5. I should have perhaps updated 3.4 first.
Best regards
C.

No.
We have a historical split between
(in CC - please speak up somebody if I'm wrong with my statement below)
and
Debian Science Team <debian-science-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>
which is IMHO a very bad and confusing (see above) thing. My personal
opinion about this is that pkg-scicomp is not as active as it was before
and I would really love if we would be able to consolidate things
according to the Debian Science Policy[1].
Kind regards
Andreas.
