Dear all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
While I have been trying to so some ebuilds depending on blas and |
| 4 |
lapack, I collected a number of thoughts regarding their implementation |
| 5 |
in Gentoo: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
* Gentoo doc: |
| 8 |
Mentioned in a year-old post on this list, there is this site: |
| 9 |
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/science/blas-lapack.xml |
| 10 |
Is it still up to date? It is not referred anywhere on the Gentoo web |
| 11 |
sites. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
* eselect: although eselect seems the way to go, it not yet fully |
| 14 |
functional. As I was working on the mkl ebuild, I found out it is not |
| 15 |
possible to add a new blas/lapack implementation without changing the |
| 16 |
eselect sources. As an example, mkl-7.2 is supported, but not in |
| 17 |
portage, and outdated. Also eselect blas/lapack do not yet provide a |
| 18 |
mechanism to show library directories and include directories. Something |
| 19 |
like "eselect blas show cflags"? Am I missing something? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
* Should we really keep those obsolete packages: |
| 22 |
- sci-libs/atlas: now decomposed as sci-libs/blas-atlas and |
| 23 |
sci-libs/lapack-atlas |
| 24 |
- sci-libs/blas: redundant with sci-libs/blas-reference |
| 25 |
- sci-libs/lapack: redundant with sci-libs/lapack-reference |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
* cblas/clapack: as mentioned in a previous post, at least a |
| 28 |
virtual/cblas could help (as well as a cblas-reference) ebuild. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
* documentation: shouldn't blas/lapack install man pages and quick |
| 31 |
references as well as in Fedora (or may be an app-docs/lapack)? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I am ready to help some devs on those issues if any interested. |
