Description: LattE (Lattice point Enumeration) is a computer software dedicated to the problems of counting lattice points and integration inside convex polytopes.  LattE contains the first ever implementation of Barvinok's algorithm.  The LattE macchiato version (by M. Köppe) incorporated fundamental improvements and speed ups.  Now the latest version, LattE integrale, has the ability to directly compute integrals of polynomial functions over polytopes and in particular to do volume computations.

Comment 2 Shakthi Kannan 2012-11-06 10:34:51 UTC
The fedora-review fails on Fedora 17 because cddlib has been orphaned for F17. Is this package only for F18 and beyond?

Comment 3 Jerry James 2012-11-07 20:42:01 UTC
Yes, this package is intended only for Fedora 18 and beyond.  I wasn't aware of the cddlib situation; thanks for pointing that out.

Comment 4 Shakthi Kannan 2012-11-19 16:16:17 UTC

Issues:

#01 shared-lib-calls-exit

Can you please create a patch to remove the exit calls, and send the changes upstream?

#02 4ti2 is already available in Fedora. It is not required to package it. You will need to Require it in the .spec file instead. 

#03 Please inform upstream to include a LICENSE file in the sources. You can include the same, and submit it to upstream.

Thanks for the review, Shakthi.

Hmmmm.  I don't see how to do this without breaking the current API.  I will certainly ask upstream to avoid calling exit() inside a library in future versions, but I don't see how to fix this version without breaking its clients.

Oh, sorry, the full story is told in bug 814868 (see comment 1 and the top of the spec file), but I forgot to copy it here.  Development of 4ti2 has changed upstreams.  The existing 4ti2 package is going to be removed in favor of this one.  The previous upstream for 4ti2 released version 1.3.2, then went inactive.  One of the 4ti2 developers joined the LattE team, and so this package is now the upstream for 4ti2 (version 1.5 at the moment).

Once this package is approved, the current 4ti2 maintainer will take that package through the EOL process.

My mistake, again.  There is a license file (named COPYING), but I neglected to put it into %doc.  That has been corrected, along with a couple of other minor packaging errors.  New URLs:

Spec URL: http://jjames.fedorapeople.org/latte-integrale/latte-integrale.spec
SRPM URL: http://jjames.fedorapeople.org/latte-integrale/latte-integrale-1.5.3-2.fc19.src.rpm

Comment 6 Shakthi Kannan 2012-11-20 05:21:33 UTC
If the current 4ti2 will be deprecated, please add the Obsoletes tag in the .spec file as mentioned here:

Comment 8 Shakthi Kannan 2012-11-22 05:31:55 UTC
Package approved.
