Re: Please categorise your packages for the Debian Science metapackages: fenics/dolfin
Hi Andreas, there are a couple more fenics components in the
mathematics-dev task:
Python-dolfin (and dolfin-dev)
python-ffc
python-ufl
I'm thinking it's redundant to list these separately under
mathematics-dev if there's already an entry in the mathematics task.
Likewise in your not-yet categorised list:
dijitso
python-dijitso is another of the FENiCs components that I think doesn't
need to be listed separately.
How is "blacklisting" done? Is it just a matter of removing the entries
in the files in debian-science/tasks ?
