Thank you for bringing this up and I apologize for the |

Personally, I have been happily using blas-atlas for |
17 |
a while now and would be ok with removing them if nothing |
18 |
in the tree depends on them directly. Some of the other |
19 |
devs might have a different opinion, though. |

As pointed out by Adam, a cblas-reference ebuild should hit |
27 |
portage shortly. Before we start pondering the virtual/cblas |
28 |
more (I am in principle for it) could we identify all the packages |
29 |
that can provide it as well as all the ones that can depend on and |
30 |
benefit from it? |

USE="doc" with blas-atlas installs the quick reference as well |
37 |
as some other docs. No man pages though. Do you know where the |
38 |
Fedora guys get them from? I don't see them in the tarballs, |
39 |
but I might have missed them. |

Thanks, |
