Bug#480087: RFP: flint -- C library for number theory
Package: wnpp
Priority: wishlist
* Package name: flint
* URL: http://www.flintlib.org/
* License: GPL
Programming Lang: C
* Description: C library for number theory
This library is designed to provide funtionality similar
to that of NTL with an emphasis on speed in small cases
as well as asymptotically.
.
Currently supports polynomial arithmetic over the integers,
fast integer arithmetic and factoring (including a highly
optimized quadratic seive.
I have a draft packaging available in the apt repository described at
<http://wiki.sagemath.org/DebianSAGE> that I run for coordinating the
packaging of SAGE for Debian (#455292).
Since I don't have the time to maintain all 26 source packages I've
created as part of my effort to package SAGE's dependencies for Debian,
I'm looking for someone to adopt this package and maintain it in Debian.
This package contains shared libraries without sonames, something that
needs to be fixed before it can be uploaded to the Debian archive.
