* Package name    : gadget2
  Version         : 2.0.7
  Upstream Author : Volker Springel 
* URL             : http://wwwmpa.mpa-garching.mpg.de/galform/gadget/index.shtml

  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : Cosmological simulations of structure formation

GADGET is a freely available code for cosmological N-body/SPH simulations
on massively parallel computers with distributed memory. GADGET uses an
explicit communication model that is implemented with the standardized
MPI communication interface. The code can be run on essentially all
supercomputer systems presently in use, including clusters of workstations
or individual PCs.

The will maintained within the Debian Astronomy Team. A git repository
will be created on alioth:

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-astro/packages/gadget2.git

Best regards

Ole

It seems that it is mainly impossible to package gadget2 in a useful
way; therefore I am going to close this ITP.

Hi Ole,

Thanks for your interest in doing this. However, I should point out one
thing: Gadget2 is configured for specific types of simulation through a
bunch of compile-time options, i.e. one typically creates a new
executable for each simulation one wants to do. I’m afraid, this
severely limits the utility of any precompiled binary...

Both are identical. (The second file is a symbolic link to the version
2.0.7)

This would be OK.

Is there a way to re-generate them somehow? Otherwise, I would need to leave them out, which would make it much harder for a beginner to start.

Regenerating these files would require to include various initial
conditions codes as well. This is not readily possible.

Volker
