Andreas
pkg-scicomp is active. I uploaded gmsh and some other packages recently. It
is just that my agenda is extra full.
Others from pkg-scicomp have been working too.

Sylvestre and I have been discussing the merging of pkg-scicomp in Debian
science.˙
I think that the way to go. I certainly don't have the time to do myself but
I can give my support for a few things.
I claim that we have done a great job at packaging and disseminating
scientific computing software. Some of them are major software in my area of
expertise.
 I recognize however that we need one big umbrella for this to work in the
long run and help for the entire  Debian/Science community

Now if there is a takeover of our packages by Debian-science, I would
appreciate that is done gently and keep people
from pkg-scicomp in the loop. There are packages that are very important for
my and my work (paraview, gmsh, trilinos, ....)


regarding paraview I have done the 3.6.1 package for some time now with a
split of the package. I had issues with the
python interface and hdf5. I should have perhaps updated 3.4 first.

Best regards
C.
