Package: meep
Version: 0.20.3-2
Severity: wishlist

A new version (1.0) is available upstream (ab-initio.mit.edu/meep).

Note that the configure script of Meep 1.0 is more aggressive about 
picking compiler flags than previous versions, and by default picks an 
-march flag based on the build host, which will produce an unportable 
binary.  To avoid this, as documented in the Meep manual, you should 
pass:

        --enable-portable-binary

to configure.  This will use -mtune instead of -march, but this may 
still not be what you want since it will tune for the build host 
(although the resulting binary is portable, the build host may not be 
the best machine to tune for).  To avoid -mtune entirely, you might also 
want to pass

        --without-gcc-arch
