Re: [opensuse-project] Science and Education repos/ Scientific packages
Hi Werner, Perfect! Once we get the rules we can try to enrol the free time of scientists from different fields to get lists of relevant opensource packages that should make it into the repo. As a side note, Novell may have a direct interest in it, as sled is the core of many supercomputers around world. usually on a supercomputer you will use a different set of libraries and compilers but having gnu packaged versions may help. Two points that once should have in mind. 1, compiling scientific programs may be a very heuristic process 2. deciding which features are relevant for a program has to be done in close connection with the scientific community. regards, Alin On Wednesday 22 September 2010 15:39:34 you wrote:

An up to date repo for http://www.opensuse.org/en/science is needed and will have to accommodate the chaotic development of scientific software rather then go well structured route of software engineering.
Yes that would be great.
At fedora there is a special Electronic lab: http://spins.fedoraproject.org/fel/
It would be cool to have something like that in openSUSE, too.
I can offer some of my time and knowledge on helping with the physics/chemistry packages but before proceeding we need a well defined set of rules and areas of expertise.
Thanks for your help.
I will be in holiday till 1. Oct. Then I'll have some time. Defining some rules and visions for the repository is a good idea.
