* Package name : lorene Version : 0.0.0~cvs20160908+dfsg Upstream Author : Eric Gourgoulhon, Philippe Grandclément, Jérôme Novak et al. * URL : http://www.lorene.obspm.fr/ * License : GPL2+ Programming Lang: C++, Fortran Description : framework for numerical relativity LORENE (Langage Objet pour la RElativité NumériquE) is a set of C++ classes to solve various problems arising in numerical relativity, and more generally in computational astrophysics. It provides tools to solve partial differential equations by means of multi-domain spectral methods. Packaging LORENE is a prerequisite to enable support for numerical space-times in Gyoto. I intend on maintaining LORENE in the Debian Astro team. I have split the package as follows: liblorene-dev: the static libraries and header; lorene-codes-src: codes using LORENE (they must be recompiled for each use case); lorene: a meta-package that depends on the two packages above; lorene-doc: the reference guide. Note that LORENE does not support dynamic linking. At the moment, this is not a strong issue since there will be only one file distributed in Debian binary packages that will be linked with it (libgyoto-lorene.so in package libgyotoX). Kind regards, Thibaut.
