ATLAS doesn't really bundle LAPACK, since it uses the static library from the Fedora LAPACK package. But yes, it does duplicate the libraries in binary form. I'd think twice about debundling. For instance OpenBLAS actually replaces some LAPACK routines with more efficient implementations, and because of this OpenBLAS also includes a bunch functions from the lapack package. So, please check with ATLAS upstream whether you can safely unbundle LAPACK. > If I understand things correctly, Lapack in Fedora uses Atlas and not > its own Blas implementation. Yes and no. The LAPACK library you get from the blas package doesn't contain any BLAS routines, so you can in principle choose what BLAS library you want to use it with. -- Susi Lehtola Fedora Project Contributor jussilehtola@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
