Comment # 1 on bug 1223783 from Atri Bhattacharya

Egbert, Stefan,
I am incubating the update here:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:badshah400:lapack2023/lapack

The recent versions use cmake, making life considerably easier, and I have
started (nearly) from scratch. I shall restore some of the previous features
1/1 (like update-alternatives, or perhaps we should shift to libalternatives:
discuss here) but there will also be differences, enforced by the different
build system, simplicity of specfile, etc. Would be grateful if you let me know
how it is looking. I can grant you (and others who you feel may be interested)
user roles to the project if you are willing to join.

Getting the updated package to near-feature-parity vis-à-vis the previous
version would complete Step 1, in my opinion.

Step 2 would be to collect all pkgs dependent on lapack from :Factory into this
project and see what fails. Fix them.

Step 3 would be to send sr for the lapack update first and then, if necessary,
for each fixed package from Step 2.

Step 4 (optional): Package blaspp [1] and lapackpp [2] and enable these
features when configuring lapack build.
