Re: Bug#692000: ITP: liblbfgs -- L-BFGS solver for dense nonlinear optimization problems
Hi Dima,
sorry for the delay. I admit I'm more involved in Debian Med and hoped
for some other sponsor on Debian Science. This did not happened and
thus I try to stand to my suggestion and will help you.

Hmmm, I noticed that you do not have a pristine-tar branch (in both archives)
and I finally get
dpkg-source: error: can't build with source format '3.0 (quilt)': no upstream tarball found at ../libdogleg_0.08.orig.tar.{bz2,gz,lzma,xz}
Any reason to not use pristine-tar?

Despite also a pristine-tar is lacking (no idea how git-buildpackage
worked around here - I'm not a Git expert) the build worked and as far
as I would see it the lintian warnings about hardening are false
positives. Looking at the build log the hardening options are injected
and thus I uploaded the package.
Kind regards and thanks for the preparations
Andreas.
