[ITP] xmds-1.6.5

[ITP] xmds-1.6.5

[Paul Cochrane]

Hi,

I would like to recommend the xmds package for inclusion into cygwin.
xmds is the eXtensible Multi-Dimensional Simulator and is way to
quickly and easily solve differential equations in any arbitrary
dimension.  It is used frequently in physics and has wider utility in
fields such as mathematics, engineering and even chemistry and
computational biology.  It is released under the GPL version 2 and is
therefore OSI-compatible.  See its web page at
http://xmds.sourceforge.net for more information.

I have packaged up xmds within cygwin using the script based packaging
procedure on the cygwin website and the package files have been
uploaded to:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=72795

where they are signified by the "cygwin" in their filenames (sorry
about having to do that, but it was the best way to differentiate the
files which are currently uploaded). These files were only renamed to
have "cygwin" in the filename; they were originally packaged as per
the cygwin packaging instructions and did not have "cygwin" in the
filename initally.

The setup.hint file is appended to the end of this email.

It would be great to get xmds into cygwin!  Any feedback about the
package would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Any chance to get direct links to the files?

It would be much easier if you could tell us at least one major Linux
distro which has this package included.  Otherwise the package needs
five votes from other Cygwin maintainers.


Thanks,

It's part of Gentoo and in testing (hopefully soon in stable) on
Debian.  In Ubuntu the package is standard.

Gentoo is not valid since it packs everything, including the kitchen
sink.  For Debian we require that it's in stable.  But if it's in
Ubuntu, it's ok.  Now *somebody* has to review it...  <hint, hint>

Is that me ?

The package builds fine from source. setup.hint looks fine.

The package tarball is missing the Cygwin README in
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin (although the source package includes one)

The setup.hint should be part of the cygwin specific patch.

Binaries are not stripped.

The src patch should only include the patched Makefile.am and the
package should be autoreconfed.

Attached the src and cygwin specific patches and a cygport file to fix
these issues when building the package with Method 3 from

 o http://cygwin.com/setup.html#package_contents

I didn't mean you personally.  I just hoped that somebody would review
the package.  Not many reviewers except you are left for some reason :(
The more I'm glad that you still review often and thorough.


Thanks,
