25 I use numeric and scipy, and have been trying for a long time to improve the
26 ebuilds to use blas/lapack/atlas. I submitted an ebuild for numeric six
27 months ago (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81520), but it has
28 languished in buzilla because it is not clear how to deal with ATLAS (my
29 atlas USE flag was rejected). How should ATLAS dependencies be handled in the
30 new infrastructure?
