[...] Yes, the package needs to be renamed. I think 'silo-llnl' is the best option, so people see it is 'a' silo package. I don't know, I personally get the impression that silo-llnl could be the LLNL variant of the SPARC boot-loader. Since this is not the case, I suggested llnlsilo. Of course, llnl-silo could be chosen, as well. Anyway, since you are the owner of the ITP bug, you get to choose the package name, with the constraint that name conflicts must be avoided, obviously... Bye, and thanks again. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/progs/scripts/pdebuild-hooks.html Need some pdebuild hook scripts? . Francesco Poli .

Bug#599747: ITP: SILO -- A mesh and field I/O library and scientific database
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Alastair McKinstry mckins...@debian.org * Package name: SILO Version : 4.8 Upstream Author : LLNL * URL : https://wci.llnl.gov/codes/silo/ * License : BSD (3-clause) Programming Lang: C Description : A mesh and field I/O library and scientific database Silo is a library for reading and writing a wide variety of scientific data to binary, disk files. The files Silo produces and the data within them can be easily shared and exchanged between wholly independently developed applications running on disparate computing platforms. Consequently, Silo facilitates the development of general purpose tools for processing scientific data. One of the more popular tools that process Silo data files is the VisIt visualization tool. Silo supports gridless (point) meshes, structured meshes, unstructured-zoo and unstructured-arbitrary-polyhedral meshes, block structured AMR meshes, constructive solid geometry (CSG) meshes, piecewise-constant (e.g. zone-centered) and piecewise-linear (e.g. node-centered) variables defined on the node, edge, face or volume elements of meshes as well as the decomposition of meshes into arbitrary subset hierarchies including materials and mixing materials. In addition, Silo supports a wide variety of other useful objects to address various scientific computing application needs. Although the Silo library is a serial library, it has some key features which enable it to be applied quite effectively and scalable in parallel. Architecturally, the library is divided into two main pieces; an upper-level application programming interface (API) and a lower-level I/O implementation called a driver. Silo supports multiple I/O drivers, the two most common of which are the HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format 5) and PDB (Portable Data Base) drivers. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
