Hi, I thought I would give a short status report about the current state of the Debian packages for dune I have been working on for a while.
The packaging is now available from the Debian Science Git repositories[1]; if you want to work on them please create an account on alioth.debian.org and join the Debian Science team. Source and binary packages (amd64) can also be found in my private apt repository[2]. The packages for dune-{common,istl,localfunctions} should be ready. The other modules still have some minor things I would like to fix before uploading them (see below). As the current packages are based on a SVN snapshot, I do not think they should be part of a stable release and would upload them to experimental, starting with dune-common and -istl for now. Please object if you think I should wait until the 2.2 release. Christian Engwer and Oliver Sander suggested to prepare packages for 2.1 instead, but for this the problem in dune-geometry below would need to be addressed as well and I am not sure if such changes are appropriate for a maintenance release. However we could still upload the 2.1 release to Debain unstable even with a 2.2 snapshot in experimental. dune-geometry: dune/geometry/quadraturerules/jacobian.mw is a Maple worksheet that is the source for jacobi_{1,2}_0_imp.hh. This would need to be converted to another language as I don't think there a free tools in Debian to "compile" the worksheet. dune-grid: - one test needs to be disabled for the Debian package as it needs too much memory - amiramesh examples cannot be modified with free tools. As they are not usable without the non-free library, I am considering to just drop them from the package. - the mpi wrapper (I think) sets an rpath. I plan to use chrpath to remove it. - example grids end up in /usr/include/dune dune-pdelab also still needs some work (at least one test currently segfaults), but I would like to have the core modules available first.
