1 Hi gang.
2
3 Finally all the issues with blas-* and lapack-* packages have been resolved.
4 All these packages are in the tree and unmasked (~x86, ~amd64 and some ~ppc)
5 and the corresponding virtuals were enabled.
6 These ebuilds provide parallel installation of reference or atlas based
7 libraries, shared libs and few more niceties, plus they have some issues with
8 gcc/f77 resolved. This is to say that they are the preferred blas/atlas
9 ebuilds and old stuff (app-sci/{blas,atlas,lapack}) is deprecated as of now.
10
11 ATTN: sci devs and maintainers of packages that use blas or lapack.
12 Please update your ebuilds to depend on virtual/blas or virtual/lapack.
13 Switching between active implementation is performed with blas-config or
14 lapack-config scripts, that follow gcc-config convention
15 (see app-config --help for more details).
16
17 Q to libtool maintainers: when can we expect >=sys-devel/libtool-1.5 going
18 stable on x86 and ppc? Some rough idea would be wellcome as it is hollding
19 these packages from going stable as well.
