I need to prepare the new release and then get a nod of approval from the old primary author as well as from the 'caretaker' at Argonne. Hopefully this week(end). Thanks for the patience.

Ok, I just put two hours into this and prepared a new tarball that I submitted to the authors / owners. With some luck, I should hear back in a few days or weeks, and it should then be ready for re-release.

Hi Dirk, Has there been any progress on this since your phone call? - Lucas On 06/10/06 at 15:39 -0500, Dirk Eddelbuettel wrote: As an update to bug report #379388, I just spent a few moments on the phone with Dr R Lusk, the acting director of the MCS division at Argonne National Labs where pgapack originates.

See http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/mpich2/license.htm for that rather short and sweet license.

Bug#379388: License of pgapack and Debian GNU/Linux
Dear Mr Lusk, your public-genetic-algorithms library pgapack is since many years part of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. It was found recently that the license of pgapack means that pgapack is not really free software. The license of pgapack restricts the selling of derivative works. The license of mpich does not contain such restrictions. Thus, would it be possible to change the license of pgapack to the license of mpich? Best Regards, Andreas Franzen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PS: I already sent a similar message but there seemed to have been some delivery problems. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
