Hi
The links to fftw3 and octave redirect to
o http://it.altervista.org/
without any content.
Some remarks to your package [ITA] [RFU] for fftw3:
The current situation in the distro is:
fftw3
fftw3-doc
fftw3-dev
Given that only octave is using fftw3 I would suggest a splitting like:
fftw3
libfftw3_3
libfftw3-devel
and maybe
fftw3-doc
instead of your proposal of
fftw3
libfftw3-devel
so that we have a pure runtime shared library package libfftw3_3 that
other packages can depend on.
For octave the current situation is
octave
octave-otags
octave-info
octave-htmldoc
octave-headers
octave-forge
octave-doc
Your RFU is for
octave
octave-devel
so you should provide empty packages for the rest.
Your RFU states:
To build the full package I also package the
libraries needed to fully compile octave:
Qhull-2003.1
Hdf5-1.6.7
glpk-4.21 (the latest versions does not compile
cleanly, so I used this one)
SuiteSparse-3.1.0
Are these static libraries ? Otherwise your build would depend on them
and you should package them for the distro.
Ciao
