[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Bug#463944: suitesparse-metis -- please use gfortran based blas, lapack

[Kumar Appaiah]

Package: suitesparse-metis
Version: 3.0.0-3
Severity: important
User: debian-toolchain at lists.debian.org
Usertags: gfortran

Hi!

I would request you to please shift Build-Depends to use the new
gfortran based Lapack and Blas packages in order to phase out packages
dependent on the old g2c (g77). In this regard, I would request you to
refer to:

http://wiki.debian.org/GfortranTransition

You may wish to rename the package in order to provide for parallel
installability of the g77 and gfortran based suitesparse-metis
packages, if you choose to upload to unstable.

Thank you.

Kumar
