[Dehs-devel] a note on packaging Armadillo 0.9.50+

[Conrad Sanderson]

Hello,

Before you turn Armadillo 0.9.50 into a Debian package, two notes:

1.
Please wait until version 0.9.52, which will be released next week.
A user has identified a bug (involving saving of complex cubes) which
will be fixed in the new release.

2.
Armadillo 0.9.50 and upwards come with pre-compiled LAPACK and BLAS
libraries for Windows, stored in the "examples/libs_win32" folder.
You may want to omit this folder in the Debian package.  Please have a
look at the included rpm spec for more info.


With regards,
Conrad
