Spec URL: http://www.auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/new/csparse.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/new/csparse-3.0.1-1.fc15.src.rpm
Koji Scratch Build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3135401.
Description: 

CSparse is a small yet feature-rich sparse matrix package written
specifically for the book "Direct Methods for Sparse Linear Systems". The
purpose of the package is to demonstrate a wide range of sparse matrix
algorithms in as concise a code as possible.

*** Packager's Note: This is a dependency for naev, also pending review. ***

Package name does not comply to FPG. The tarball is called CSparse*

Comment 2 Tom "spot" Callaway 2011-06-17 14:22:06 UTC

Fair enough:

While following bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=714716 I noticed that Fedora already has suitesparse pkg,
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/suitesparse

that aggregates several sparse libraries:

$ yum info suitesparse
Installed Packages
Name        : suitesparse
...
Summary     : A collection of sparse matrix libraries
URL         : http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse/SuiteSparse
License     : LGPLv2+ and GPLv2+
Description : suitesparse is a collection of libraries for computations involving sparse
            : matrices.  The package includes the following libraries:
...
            :   CSparse     a concise sparse matrix package
...

whiteout going further into the details is this a different package?

If it is I will have closer look and I will review the package.

Comment 4 Tom "spot" Callaway 2011-06-29 17:21:56 UTC

Its not a different package, so this is not necessary. Good catch.
