Summary: Review Request: arpack - Fortran77 subroutines for solving large scale eigenvalue problems https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=214967 ------- Additional Comments From rpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2007-06-29 16:13 EST ------- (In reply to comment #48) > (In reply to comment #44) > > I suggest the following patch to adress two issues: > > 1. we shouldn't ship static libraries > > Why not? Many people using arpack do so in static builds. But what needs to be > done is to split of the static lib in arpack-static (when the package was > submitted the guideline did not exist yet). Why too? The guidelines say there must be a compelling reason to ship static libs. Is there one? If yes, please provide it. And yes, of course static libs must be in a separate subpackage. > > 2. there's a bug in eigenvalue calculation routine, see > > http://www.ann.jussieu.fr/pipermail/freefempp/2006/000213.html for more details. > > Thanks! It does look a bit awkward that freefem++ ships a patch to two files > as those two files in a tarball within its tarball, and for simplicity's sake > I'll better make a real patch out of it. Do you perhaps know whether freefem++ > reported this bug upstream to arpack? I saw that you asked, but there was no > reply on the archive (maybe unlinked due to mailman's archive boundaries). I don't think they did. At least there were no further replies. I would've made a patch myself, but I don't know Fortran and I didn't have time to look into it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
