Re: Please categorise your packages for the Debian Science metapackages

as in every release cycle I'm trying to verify that every package
maintained in Debian Science team is properly categorised in our Blends
tasks. If a package is just a predependency for some other scientific
software I can add it to a blacklist of packages that should not show
up in the Debian Science metapackages explicitly. I have uploaded the
list of not yet categorised (not yet blacklisted) source packages to
http://blends.debian.net/tmp/debian-science.txt
The list also contains the latest uploader - so simply seek for your
name - everybody in CC is mentioned at least once in the list and should
definitely have a look. If other readers here feel competent to
classify a package for one or more (!) tasks in our task list
https://blends.debian.org/science/tasks/
evary suggestion is welcome.
To add a binary (!) package to a task you can simply
debcheckout -u your_alioth_login debian-science
cd debian-science/tasks
and edit the task in question. Members of the Debian Pure Blends team
as well as any DD (ACLs are set but I have heard this does not work
reliably) have commit permissions. I'm also fine if you debcheckout
anonymously and send me `git format-patch` formated changes or just
answer here to this mail.
If you are not sure whether a package belongs to a task or not feel
free to discuss this here.
Kind regards and thanks for your cooperation
Ah, thanks for the heads-up and taking care of the blends!
Those should clearly be mathematics :
- edge-addition-planarity-suite
- flint-arb
- flintqs
and that one should be mathematics-dev:
- rw
The case of rubiks isn't clear-cut: it could be seen as mathematics,
geometry, combinatorics (non-existing) or "brainy game" (non-existing)
-- it contains Rubiks' cubes solvers, after all. What do you think about it?
Cheers,
Snark on #debian-science
