Bug#480080: RFP: givaro -- library for arithmetic and algebraic computations
Package: wnpp
Priority: wishlist
* Package name: givaro
* URL: http://ljk.imag.fr/CASYS/LOGICIELS/givaro/
* License: GPL
Programming Lang: C/C++
* Description: Givaro, a library for arithmetic and algebraic computations
In the joint CNRS-INRIA / INPG-UJF project APACHE,
Givaro is a C++ library for arithmetic and algebraic computations.
.
Its main features are implementations of the basic arithmetic of
many mathematical entities: Primes fields, Extensions Fields,
Finite Fields, Finite Rings, Polynomials, Algebraic numbers,
Arbitrary precision integers and rationals (C++ wrappers over gmp)
.
It also provides data-structures and templated classes for the
manipulation of basic algebraic objects, such as vectors, matrices
(dense, sparse, structured), univariate polynomials (and therefore
recursive multivariate).
.
It contains different program modules and is fully compatible with
the LinBox linear algebra library and the Athapascan environment,
which permits parallel programming.
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.
I observe that this upstream package has a soname of 0.0.0; the maintainer
should probably contact the upstream developer and be sure they are doing
proper versioning. Otherwise, I think this package is ready.
