Garli for Debian
================

When building the package the build time test suite is run.  It has turned
out that it does not pass for each random number initialisation, which is
documented in a bug log

    https://bugs.debian.org/907905

To enable relieable package builds randseed was set from -1 to 1 in all
test configurations.  It might be worth detailed inspection why there are
random test failures.  Unfortunately this goes beyond the Debian packaging
and was reported upstream.

Please check this issue on Github for further information.


The MPI version claims to be 32 bit based on this test in src/garlimain.cpp:

	//I'm not sure that this is dependable or portable, but it is only for screen output, so isn't that important
	int ptrSize = sizeof(int *);
	if(ptrSize == 8)
		is64bit = true;
	else
		is64bit = false;

I think that test is simply wrong since compilation is 64 bit on amd64.
