Re: future of blas/lapack/atlas packages?

Hi,

thanks Matthias for raising this issue. I am interested in helping with
this. 

We need to maintain the packages in a svn/git repository and I suggest
we simply create new packges, something like 

libatlas3.8-*

or something. We get it compile, we get it to debian and we start fixing
all potential problems. Let's have both atlas 3.6 and atlas 3.8 and
users will simply use those, that work. When we get 3.8 in a good shape,
we may then for example remove the libatlas-* packages and provide them
with libatlas3.8-* etc.
