Continuing packaging effort (was: Bug#994272: RFS: opm-{common|material|grid|models|simulators|upscaling}/2021.04-1 [ITP] -- opm -- Open Porous Media Software Suite)
Hi,
just to keep debian-science up to date (I am sorry for not CCing with the
original message to BTS and for multiple messages).
Here is a copy of the message sent to Debian's BTS.
We are still looking for a sponsor for the OPM packages.
FYI: We are about to release the next upstream version 2021.10 and intend to
update the prospective Debian packages (see [0], [1] for all details).
Any comments and recommendations about the current packages are of course
welcome and we will try to incorporate them. It might of course make sense to
wait with uploading to NEW for the new release. I will report when the packages
for the new release are available.
What OPM is and why it should be in Debian:
The Open Porous Media (OPM) software suite provides libraries and
tools for modeling and simulation of porous media processes, especially
for simulating CO2 sequestration and improved and enhanced oil recovery.
Its main part is a blackoil reservoir simulator with file input and output
compatible with a major commercial oil reservoir simulator. On some
cases it clearly outperforms the commercial one. Being open source it lowers
the bar for starting simulations and is used by industry, research institutes
and quite a few small consultancies.
Looking foward to your reviews and sponsoring efforts.
Cheers,
Markus
