Subject: RFS: arrayfire/3.0~beta-1 [ITP] -- High performance library for parallel computing
To: Debian Bug Tracking System <
submit@bugs.debian.org>
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist
Dear Mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for the following source package:
* Package name : arrayfire
Version : 3.0~beta
Upstream Author : ArrayFire Development Group <
technical@arrayfire.com>
* URL :
http://arrayfire.com/
* License : BSD-3-Clause
Programming Lang: C++
Description : High performance library for parallel computing
It builds the following binary packages:
libarrayfire-cpu3 -- Shared library (CPU backend)
libarrayfire-cpu3-dbg -- Debug symbols for CPU backend shlib
libarrayfire-cpu-dev -- Development files for CPU backend shlib
libarrayfire-doc -- Doxygen documentation
Comments:
* The OpenCL backend requires dependencies which are not yet available in
Debian, namely the clBLAS and clFFT libraries. Packaging work is in progress
for both and I intend to update the package with this backend later, once
these dependencies are uploaded.
* The test suite is voluntarily disabled for now, because upstream strictly
requires the download of both gtest and additional assets via submodules. I
intend to discuss this issue with upstream and aim at having some sort of
offline test suite available in a future update.
This source package is maintained by the Debian Science Team and can be
checked out at:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/arrayfire.git
The binary packages can be built with the following command:
gbp buildpackage --git-upstream-tag=upstream/3.0_beta \
--git-upstream-branch=master \
--git-debian-branch=debian/experimental \
--git-no-pristine-tar
I intend to seek sponsorship through the Sponsoring of Blends initiative.
Best regards,
Ghislain
