There is no rule forbidding to have library with zero consumers in |
| 19 |
the main repository. As long, as someone maintains it. |

I agree, on science overlay there are more interested people. |
| 28 |
Mail to gentoo-science and gentoo-physics lists. I'm working on |
| 29 |
another branch of physics, so I'm not sure I'll be able to test |
| 30 |
this library thorough, though. |

Note to Zeev: if you're interested in packaging by various |
| 33 |
distributions, try to make their job easier. A quick check shows |
| 34 |
that there are version constrains on dependencies, e.g. >=vtk-6.1, |
| 35 |
but they're not mentioned in the documentation. Fixing this will |
| 36 |
save people from digging into cmake files. |
