[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Debian package for Scotch

[Christophe Prud'homme]

Francois

thank you for your email. I did the package some time ago and I hope
it is faithful to your work.
 I meant to contact you some time ago to tell you about scotch in
Debian but fail to do so.
The main idea behind packaging scotch is to provide and promote a
replacement for metis/parmetis (which is is non-free)
the fact that you provide the scotchmetis interface is a very good
thing. Unfoirtunately some functions are missing to be able to use
scotch as a full replacement.
for example it would be very nice  to have the full  "metis" interface
 for suitesparse supported by scotch.

You are most welcome to join the group (list and project). As Ondrej
mentionned,  let me know your login name and I will add you to the
project.

Best regards
C.

PS: I work at the Lab. Jean Kuntzmann in Grenoble. my main interest is
scientific computing and more specifically the numerical solution of
PDEs
