Description of problem: Blis-0.9.0 was released ~6 month ago. Fedora still packages 0.7.0. Please update. Dmitri. --
I'd have done it some time ago, but it's not clear to me how, since the ill-advised policy on flexiblas. It would break a load of things transitively due to the changed soversion, despite exporting the constant libblas.so.3 ABI. I should probably orphan it. Is there something specific you want from the current version?
Thanks! Nothing critical. I noticed that some of my benchamrks are ~30% faster with 0.9.0.
Could you please provide me some extra information about the ill-advised policy on flexiblas? For example an example of what it breaks and how it specifically affects blis. Or it would help if you would give me any clues where can I do any research about it myself. Thank you
I argued against the policy when it was proposed partly because it makes system management problematic, specifically for heterogeneous HPC systems with which I have a lot of experience and no-one pushing for the policy appeared to have. The optimal BLAS/LAPACK potentially depends on the particular system it's on, and should be adjusted via the dynamic linker with alternatives providing the ABI, as on Debian. You can always use LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_PRELOAD to select an implementation different from the default. Here, I can't update the blis package without breaking anything depending on BLAS, as far as I can see, despite it providing an interface compatible with netlib-blas. That's not an issue with the Debian system.
