Re: Committed some fixes to libf2c2

[Andreas Tille <andreas@fam-tille.de>]

Hi Barak,

my current pressure to add another upload to libf2c2 has vanished since
I found a clue to build clapack with the current version (a copy of
f2c.h just needed to be removed from there).

I think your clone would fit my needs since the only different filename
(i_ceiling.c in clapack is i_dceiling.c in your clone) seems to contain
the needed functions.

IMHO it would make sense to try to send out the message to other places
where code copies of f2c are hanging around and ask people to contribute
to this one in case changes are needed.  It would also make sense to
point other distributions to this.  Once this is settled I'd volunteer
to work on a final Debian package (if you need this help) and move it
to Debian Science.

BTW, for completeness I attached the get-orig-source file which I wrote
for f2c (not libf2c2) before I noticed that this would be the wrong
place.  Its basically downloading the zip but calculating the "version
number" automatically.  IMHO its not relevant any more if we want to use
Github and thus it makes no sense to commit it to the repository.  I
just send it for completeness and how I would document how the upstream
source was created.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
