Description Adelson Oliveira 2020-02-05 02:30:41 CET

Julia is a new programming language which is growing fast mainly in scientific and ML areas.

Some distributions like fedora, debian, among others have their own package for julia. I wonder why no one else has already proposed to build a mageia's julia package.

I would like to suggest to include a julia package in mageia's repositories.

Thanks

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might, if there are no license or other legal issues, want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

You Adelson might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager

To package Julia for Mageia we also need to port a package called dSFMT and I took the liberty of packaging dSFMT to Mageia 7.

Here are all the packages for it and the spec file I used for it:

We also need to port a package called openblas and I'm working on that as well.

Comment 4 Kristoffer Grundström 2020-02-06 04:44:25 CET

There is a problem to find a equivalent package for Redhat's multilib-rpm-config package which is a dependancy to build Julia.

Any ideas?

Feel free to work on this...

 Kristoffer Grundström Take a look at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1344231 It seems to describe the macro there. With luck you may find that there is an equivalent macro in the Mageia tool set.
