Thanks for the suggestion. I however doubt that julia upstream is going to switch to NetBSD's libm since they have invested in their own libm. Also, NetBSD's libm is not packaged in Debian AFAIK. So the most practical alternative to openlibm at the Debian level is rather glibc's libm. > I do not like an addition of such an unportable package. Note that julia is currently only available on amd64 and i386. Hopefully it will soon work on armhf. And julia is currently the only rdep of openlibm. So introducing openlibm as a separate package will imply no regression in arch coverage of existing packages. -- .''`.
