  Description     : High-performance lib for Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood phylogenetics
 BEAGLE is a high-performance library that can perform the core calculations at
 the heart of most Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood phylogenetics packages. It
 can make use of highly-parallel processors such as those in graphics cards
 (GPUs) found in many PCs.
 .
 The project involves an open API and fast implementations of a library for
 evaluating phylogenetic likelihoods (continuous time Markov processes) of
 biomolecular sequence evolution.
 .
 The aim is to provide high performance evaluation 'services' to a wide range
 of phylogenetic software, both Bayesian samplers and Maximum Likelihood
 optimizers.  This allows these packages to make use of implementations that
 make use of optimized hardware such as graphics processing units.


The package was initially prepared by Tim Booth for BioLinux and
submitted to Debian Med repository at

  Vcs-Svn: svn://svn.debian.org/debian-med/trunk/packages/libhmsbeagle/trunk

After making some changes in the packaging I would like to upload
it to Debian because some other packages depend from this lib.
