In general it makes sense I guess (the other option would be nanoscale-physics, but that effort appears to have stalled a bit). Feel free to migrate it, but be advised that updating Abinit likely takes quite a bit of effort as it changed considerably including its external dependencies, so I am not sure I will personally get to it soon. Would be nice if somebody with actual Abinit experience could tackle this. Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
