As libtommath seems to be dead upstream (last release in 2011, homepage
vanished), I'm not sure reverting this makes much sense.
I see but tomsfastmath isn't that much better, is it?
Not really. It even has the same homepage (or rather has not anymore).
Its last release
is more recent however. The git tree of of tommath [0] has a few changes
from a fow months ago.
I wonder, why there hasn't been any new release despite the activity in
the repository (for both tommath and tomsfastmath).
Anyway. I found a document [1] which explains the difference to tommath:
|Compared to LibTomMath this new library is meant to be much faster while
|sacrificing flexibiltiy
I see. The assembler optimizations seem to be the cause of the problems
on x32.
so it supposed to do the same thing but a little faster. Sounds like
something for everyone. Would it make a candidate for packaging then?
There a few copies of it in the tree [2].
Yes, packaging that would make sense. Even more so, if there is a chance
of new upstream releases in the future.
We probably should just remove '--with-system-tommath' (and
'--without-included-ltdl', which is the default) from debian/rules.
if we use the embedded ltdl then yes, please :)
We don't use the embedded ltdl, but clamav uses the system version on
its own, unless configured with --with-included-ltdl.
Best regards,
Andreas
