  Description     : C library for crystal symmetry determination

Spglib is a C library for crystal symmetry determination. Symmetry
operations, space groups and other data can be obtained using this
symmetry finder.

Features include:

* Identify space-group type
* Find symmetry operations
* Find a primitive cell
* Search irreducible k-points
* Refine crystal structure
* Wyckoff position assignment

The package implements symmetry determination algorithms by
Grosse-Kunstleve (Acta Cryst., A55, 383-395 (1999)) and Grosse-Kunstleve
and Adams (Acta Cryst., A58, 60-65 (2002)). There are language bindings
for Python, Fortran and Ruby.

Packaging of spglib was previously requested in RFPs #602113 and #674135
(merged).

I plan to team-maintain the package in Debian Science. I will need a
sponsor to upload the package once it is ready.
