Re: Please categorise your packages for the Debian Science metapackages (second iteration)
Dear Andreas,
I would have been happy to do the job directly but I currently do not
have access to a running debian machine I can "control" (have devscripts
installed) and I lack time/HD space for a VM install. It perhaps could
make sense to have it on alioth? (no troll intended - if it can be
categorized as such)
So my suggestions, on the packages I know/use, if this can be useful:
coinmp logic, mathematics, numerical computation
It's a C-API to COIN, a linear/ILP optimization solver (with branch and cut, cut generation...).
coinbc, coinsymphony, coincg are there already. It would be logical to put coinmp there too.
collada-dom viewing (given that it is in debian-science)
collada is a format/initiative for 3D models exchange. I see collada-dom is a
"Document Object Model/XML" version. Would be more a "graphics' package
for me than a science one (personal opinion, arguable, YMMV).
evolver mathematics, physics, numerical computation
Evolver is a minimal surface optimization tool (variational optimization),
math/numerical computation because it is a numerical variational optimization,
physics because it allows to model eg. liquid/solid interface.
toulbar2 machine learning, physics, logic, mathematics, numerical computation
optimization on discrete graphical models. Machine learning/Physics because it solves
"maximum a posteriori" on Markov Random Fields used in ML and statistical physics. Logic,
mathematic, numerical computation because it is also a general discrete optimization tool
that can solve both logical or numerical NP-complete decision problems.
Kind regards,
Thomas
