Description Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2006-11-22 17:37:58 UTC

Spec URL: http://rpm.greysector.net/extras/arpack.spec
SRPM URL: http://rpm.greysector.net/extras/arpack-2.1-1.src.rpm
Description:
ARPACK is a collection of Fortran77 subroutines designed to solve large 
scale eigenvalue problems. 

The package is designed to compute a few eigenvalues and corresponding
eigenvectors of a general n by n matrix A. It is most appropriate for
large sparse or structured matrices A where structured means that a
matrix-vector product w <- Av requires order n rather than the usual
order n**2 floating point operations. This software is based upon an
algorithmic variant of the Arnoldi process called the Implicitly
Restarted Arnoldi Method (IRAM).

Comment 1 Jochen Schmitt 2006-11-22 18:50:20 UTC

God:
+ Source package was not complainted by rpmlint.
* Local build works fine.
* Rpmlint is quited on binary packages.
* Local install/uninstall workds ok.
* Tarball matches with upstream.
* Mock build works fine.


Bad:
- Devel package should contains some documentation for developers.
I thins, that the stuff on /usr/doc/arpack-2.1/EXAMPLES shold be in
the developement package.
- Rpmlint complaints on installed package:
rpmlint arpack
W: arpack undefined-non-weak-symbol /usr/lib/libarpack.so.2.1 etime_
W: arpack undefined-non-weak-symbol /usr/lib/libarpack.so.2.1 slamch_
W: arpack undefined-non-weak-symbol /usr/lib/libarpack.so.2.1 cgemv_
W: arpack undefined-non-weak-symbol /usr/lib/libarpack.so.2.1 cscal_
--- A lot of simular lines ---

Done, new specfile:
http://rpm.greysector.net/extras/arpack.spec
(SRPM unchanged)

> - Rpmlint complaints on installed package:

It doesn't here (FC6).

I have no idea what this is about.

Comment 3 Patrice Dumas 2006-11-22 21:57:46 UTC

It seems to be a duplicate of #214967 so it should certainly be better
to add a comment on that report.

The symbols look like lapack symbols.

Comment 4 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2006-11-22 21:58:40 UTC

Scratch that, I have an idea now. Stay tuned.

Comment 5 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2006-11-22 22:01:32 UTC

Aw, crap. I forgot about #214967.

Comment 6 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2006-11-22 22:19:24 UTC

OK, non-weak symbol issue fixed.

I will ask Axel if he would consider letting me (co-)maintain this.
