TOPCOM for Debian ----------------- We make several changes to the upstream package. * Because of possible clashes with other packages in Debian due to common names (e.g., cube and cross), the prefix "topcom-" has been added to each of the binaries. This is consistent with several other mathematical packages in Debian, e.g., 4ti2 and nauty. * Upstream ships tarballs for the gmp and cdd libraries and always uses them when building TOPCOM. We use a repacked tarball without these librarise and instead build with the corresponding Debian packages. * We have added manpages, adapted from those written by Jerry James using text from the sources for the Fedora package of TOPCOM. In addition to adding the "topcom-" prefix where appropriate, we also insert the upstream version number during build instead of hardcoding it. * We include the html manual. This has not been shipped with the source since version 0.15.3, but is available on the upstream webpage: http://www.rambau.wm.uni-bayreuth.de/TOPCOM/TOPCOM-manual.html. We regenerate it using the TeX source from the 0.15.3 tarball: http://www.rambau.wm.uni-bayreuth.de/Software/TOPCOM-0.15.3.tar.gz -- Doug Torrance , Sun, 5 Jul 2020 08:30:09 -0400
