* Description: Elliptic Curve library
 John Cremona's programs for enumerating and computating with elliptic
 curves defined over the rational numbers.


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. I'm currently working with the SAGE developers and upstream developers to get this fixed.

--- Begin Message --- I'm closing these WNPP bugs I submitted because I've concluded that the upstream developers don't do real releases and thus the packages aren't appropriate to include in Debian:
- The eclib developers only do releases inside Sage these days, and so I'm building eclib as part of the sagemath package.
- The rubiks solvers seem to only be maintained inside Sage, and probably don't have much demand for use outside Sage anyway.
- python-arpack and python-delaunay are part of the scipy sandbox, which is planned to be merged into scipy. I've decided there's little point in packaging them separately before then.
