Bug#453065: getfem++ 4.0



Hi all,

I've uploaded my last packaging effort based on the official release
of getfem version 4.0.0 here:

http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=getfem

Some remarks:

1. In accordance with the tar.gz-name and the SO-NAME of the last
upstream release I've removed the "++" suffix from the name of the
source-package as well as from the names of all binary packages.

2. I let the superlu code included in the upstream package intact. I
've included all its copyright relevant information in
debian/copyright, but during the build process I've used the
libsuperlu3-dev package instead.

3. In this email I CC'ed "Ana Beatriz Guerrero Lopez" who is the
maintainer of gmm++-dev in order to attract her attention to my
previous question:
 > 3. gmm stand alone packages
 > Since there is a debian package for standalone gmm too:
 > http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/libgmm++-dev
 > and since the upstream for gmm++ and getfem++ is the same,
 > I suppose the standalone gmm++ package could be replaced by the
 > one contained in getfem++.
 > At this point a decision should taken also for the name of the
 > package (libgmm vs libgmm++, see point 1).

4. I would like to suggest that getfem is moved to the "Debian
Scientific Computing Team", since this team already maintains many
similar packages. As I haven't contacted neither the people who worked
on getfem in the past nor the "Debian Scientific Computing Team" yet,
I CC persons from both parties in this mail hoping to get some
positive response from both. In any case, I would be glad to continue
working on this package under the mentoring/sponsoring of anyone who
would like to undertake it.

Regards

Kostas
