Description: This is a library for computing homotopy continuation of a given root of one dimensional sections of bivariate complex polynomials.  The output is a piecewise linear approximation of the path followed by the root, with the property that there is a tubular neighborhood, with square transversal section, that contains the actual path, and there is a three times thicker tubular neighborhood guaranteed to contain no other root of the polynomial.  This second property ensures that the piecewise linear approximation computed from all roots of a polynomial form a topologically correct deformation of the actual braid, since the inner tubular neighborhoods cannot intersect.

This is a new dependency of sagemath 8.4.

(fedscm-admin):  The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/sirocco

Comment 3 Jerry James 2018-10-28 01:09:30 UTC
Thanks for the review!

(In reply to Robert-André Mauchin from comment #1)
>  - License is GPLv3

That's not clear.  The package does contain a LICENSE file that contains the text of GPL v3, that is true.  However, that alone is not sufficient to determine the license; search for "GPL+" here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing

The only statement of the license that I can find outside of the LICENSE file is in ZVK.py, which clearly states that that file, at least, is GPLv2+.  Since the intersection of GPL+ and GPLv2+ is GPLv2+, I concluded that that is the correct license for this package.  I will ask upstream to clarify.

Comment 4 Jerry James 2019-02-19 16:23:23 UTC
Built in Rawhide.
