Hi,

someone has apparently disabled *all* builds for openblas.

Whats the reason for this?

As openblas 0.3.20 was never built inside science, we now have 0.3.20 in Factory and 0.3.17 (binary packages) in science. This causes a lot of unresolvables, as OBS tries to use openblas 0.3.17 from science.

Kind regards,

Stefan

Hi Egbert,

as you are the de-facto maintainer of openblas, can you shed some light here?

Another problem with openblas is the missing .baselibs configuration for 32bit packages. Some time ago it was still there, but then went missing without a mention in the changelog. This breaks at least arpack-ng.

At least for TW, i586 (actully, somthing like P4) is still supported, and for any library package still working on i586 we should also have the baselibs configuration (IMHO).

I'm not aware that I've thrown these out. On the packages I've worked on, I've converted the static baselibs.conf files to static ones as there was no good way to use static baselibs.conf file for all the different flavors - moreover, I don't want these 32bit binaries for HPC anyway. I've looked back, the version where I've claimed I added these, did not have it. Going further back I wasn't able to find any static baselibs.conf either, which makes me believe there was never any. I personally do not care for 32-bit libraries, neither professionally nor personally - at least for openblas. I had my fair share of openblas - the upgrade to 0.3.20 gave me some grief - and I do not want to invest any more time on topics that are of no interest for me. If you feel like a baselibs.conf setup is useful and want to create one *and* maintain it, please feel free. There were some breakages introduced thru my changes - which I've hopefully rectified, they had nothing to do with a missing baselibs.conf. These issues should disappear from Factory as the fix has been accepted last night. I have no idea who disabled build of openblas in science. It wasn't me - at least not intentionally. On the bright sight, switching between netlib-lapack and openblas should be possible, now. Cheers, Egbert.

Kind regards,

Stefan
