Bug#480077: RFP: polybori -- pythonic library for polynomials over boolean rings
Package: wnpp
Priority: wishlist
* Package name: polybori
* URL: http://polybori.sourceforge.net/
* License: GPL
Programming Lang: python, C++ (boost)
* Description: Polynomials over Boolean Rings
The core of PolyBoRi is a C++ library, which provides high-level data
types for Boolean polynomials and monomials, exponent vectors, as
well as for the underlying polynomial rings and subsets of the
powerset of the Boolean variables. As a unique approach, binary
decision diagrams are used as internal storage type for polynomial
structures. On top of this C++-library we provide a Python
interface. This allows parsing of complex polynomial systems, as well
as sophisticated and extendable strategies for Groebner base
computation. PolyBoRi features a powerful reference implementation
for Groebner basis computation.
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).
I'm not aware of any issues in this package, though I should note my draft
packaging is for a release candidate of an upcoming upstream release (0.4)
that should come out in the next week (the rc is available on
sourceforge).
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.
