Hi,
Here is some information on the progress of packaging FreeFOAM. If there
is somebody who would like to assist / collaborate, just let me know.

Packaging FreeFOAM against release 0.1.0rc4 is starting to get in good
shape, including building from source using pbuilder. Currently, the
next binary packages will be build:
- libfreefoam: libraries for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
- libfreefoam-dev: libraries for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) -
development files
- freefoam: programs for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
- freefoam-user-doc: software for Computational Fluid Dynamics - user
documentation
- freefoam-dev-doc: software for Computational Fluid Dynamics -
developers documentation

Though there are still some issues:
- Some lintian errors and warnings
- Building with MPI enabled needs non-free parmgridgen-dev as
libscotchparmetis does not yet cover fully the libparmgridgen
functionality (see bug #582489).  So, for the moment the FreeFOAM
packages will have to reside in contrib :(
- Waiting until formal first FreeFOAM release will be issued. Upstream
developer is working on that.
