Please check whether your package is mentioned in tasks files (Was: RFS: FreeFOAM)

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi Gerber,

when looking at the tasks page for physics[1] I can find an openfoam
project but freefoam is not mentioned.  Is it correct to mention
freefoam in the physics task as well and do you see other tasks this
package might fit.  Do you think that creating a physics-dev task and
adding libfreefoam-dev (as well as other development packages relevant
for developing physical applications) might make sense?

It might also help if you could clarify the connection to OpenFoam to
express this better on the tasks page.

BTW, it would be really cool if *any* developer of a scientific
application would check *now* whether its package is mentioned in the
Debian Science tasks.  It would be too bad if we would release with
incomplete metapackages.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
