Dear Debian Developers, I wanted to see ASL - Advanced Simulation Library <http://asl.org.il> as part of Debian. I contacted an experienced DD who kindly agreed to upload and maintain it however he didn't have the time to create the initial package (see his email bellow). I was advised to create it myself according to this guide:
http://debian-science.alioth.debian.org/debian-science-policy.html After looking on the doc I decided to give it a try (despite having no packaging knowledge/experience) and after overcoming some technical difficulties I managed to make some progress: ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/asl.git Later it turned out (see second email) that the doc describes only the steps specific to Debian Science while there is much more to do/read (-> "New maintainers guide", etc) :-((( May I ask somebody to volunteer to finish the initial creation of the package, so it can be uploaded? It has been developed/tested on Debian since 2010 so the process should be smooth. Packaging efforts for other distros are underway and probably can be helpful for Debian [1]. Thank you, Zeev ------ In short about the library: It is an OpenCL-based multiphysics simulation software that can be deployed (besides CPU) on different massively parallel architectures like GPUs, FPGAs, DSPs etc. and covers a variety of physical and chemical phenomena. It can be utilized in a number of fields: - CFD: http://asl.org.il/benchmarks/multicomponent_flow/ - image-guided surgery: http://avtechscientific.com/cryovision - crystal growth: https://github.com/AvtechScientific/ASL/blob/master/examples/levelSet/levelSetFacetedGrowth.cc - virtual sensing (i.a. medical): http://avtechscientific.com/brainshift - R&D of biomed devices (i.a. microfluidics): http://avtechscientific.com/focus - etc., etc.. ------ [1]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libasl/ https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/lupinix/ASL/ https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:ealin:physics/ASL > Hi all, > > I talked to Zeev regarding this package and I would upload > it, if its packaging state would fit to our requirements.
