Re: RFS: viennacl
Wow, took me quite a while to find the time to proceed...
Anyways, I
* updated to the new upstream release 1.1.2
* run the tests in debian/rules
* fixed bugs in debian/rules related to the changelog extraction
* dropped an unused file in debian/
* cleaned up the comments in debian/rules
* squashed debian/changelog to a single entry
I uploaded the new version to mentors.debian.net.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/v/viennacl
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/v/viennacl/viennacl_1.1.2-1.dsc
The Git repository is on alioth.debian.net:
- Browser: http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-science/packages/viennacl.git
- Clone: git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/viennacl.git
I would be glad if someone reviewed and uploaded this package for me.
