* Package name : boost-numeric-bindings Version : 0.99 Upstream Author : Kresimir Fresl et. al. * URL : https://github.com/uBLAS/numeric_bindings * License : Boost Software License - Version 1.0 Programming Lang: C++ Description : boost-numeric-bindings -- Numeric Library Bindings for Boost Boost Bindings is a bindings library (not just) for Boost.Ublas. It offers an easy way of calling BLAS, LAPACK, UMFPACK, MUMPS and many other mature legacy numerical codes from within C++. Previously an ITP bug was filed (#536270) but then dropped. Since then a github repo was created and a "pre-release 0.99" was released with a bit more work, in 2015. I have updated the preliminary package by Teemu Ikonen from that bug to the latest version, as well as the latest Debian compat and policy versions, based on his package repo: git://git.debian.org/debian-science/packages/boost-numeric-bindings.git The package already installs the header files successfully to within the /usr/include/boost directory and I have preliminary support for running some of the tests. I intend to improve this, add documentation if possible, and keep it up to date with any future releases. It would be beneficial to Debian to have these headers more easily available, since projects are currently often embedding them headers in their source distributions.
