* Package name : pymatgen-test-files Version : 2022.0.16 Upstream Author : Shyue Ping Ong <on...@eng.ucsd.edu> * URL : Shyue Ping Ong <on...@eng.ucsd.edu> * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : test files for pymatgen Pymatgen (Python Materials Genomics) is a robust, open-source Python library for materials analysis. This package provides pymatgen test files, used to test that the pymatgen installation is functioning correctly. These tests files are not provided in upstream pymatgen source tarballs (the tarballs made available at the upstream project website, distinct from their github repository), since their size is huge (778MB). The debian source package for pymatgen included them by taking source tarballs from upstream github releases. Upstream does not expect users (or distributions) to run these tests. They run their own tests using github facilities. But obviously for the Debian distribution we want to run the tests at build time and in debci. We can expect that the test files will change much more slowly than the pymatgen code itself. This pymatgen-test-files source package is intended to help make the size of the pymatgen package more reasonable by splitting off the test files. pymatgen will be updated to honour the nocheck build option to allow local builds without requiring access to the large test file set. To be maintained by the Debichem team alongside the main pymatgen package.
