Package: src:salome Version: 5.1.3-8 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected]
Greetings,
To reduce the demand on users' disks, it would be helpful to split the
salome package into multiple separate packages according to utility.
André Espaze and I discussed this last month in debian-science [1] and
the parameters discussed there would make a good division of the
package:
* The main "salome" package with core modules KERNEL, GUI, GEOM,
MED, SMESH, YACS, VISU
* A "salome-extras" package including MULTIPR, NETGENPLUGIN (when
it works), RANDOMIZER and SIERPINSKY
* Pre-compiled "salome-example-modules" with LIGHT, PYLIGHT,
COMPONENT, HELLO, PYHELLO, CALCULATOR and PYCALCULATOR
* A "salome-test" package with all of the binaries containing
"test" "Test" "TEST" etc. in their name, and if practical, a
script to automate running all of the tests
* Separate salome-doc for non-built docs, and salome-user-doc and
salome-dev-doc for docs built using the usr_docs and dev_docs
make targets (once Debian has the disk space for all ~600 MiB of
docs!)

Thoughts and contributions are welcome. This will probably happen in
the -10 release.
