Bug#708391: mpir
Control: retitle -1 RFP: mpir -- Multiple Precision Integers and Rationals library
Control: noowner -1
I no longer plan to package mpir.
Concern about adding mpir to the archive alongside gmp was brought up in the Debian Science
mailing list [1] and confirmed by upstream [2].
My original motivation for packaging mpir was as a Build-Depends for Macaulay2, but Macaulay2
upstream is currently working on making it possible to build with gmp [3].
If anyone is interested in tackling this issue in the future, my packaging work is available
at [4].
