Bug#480092: RFP: linbox -- Library for exact linear algebra
Package: wnpp
Priority: wishlist
* Package name: linbox
* URL: http://www.linalg.org/
* License: GPL
Programming Lang: C++
* Description: Library for exact linear algebra
This version of Linbox is heavily modified for use with SAGE.
.
LinBox is a C++ template library for exact, high-performance
linear algebra computation with dense, sparse, and structured
matrices over the integers and over finite fields.
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 a static library compiled with -fPIC. The Debian
Library Packaging Guide recommends against this; ideally, one would
coordinate with the upstream maintainers to add a shared library.
It also is missing a manpage for the linbox-config tool.
