please package new version (3.3.1), include standard C language API

[Tamas Papp]

The new version (3,3.1) came out in April 2011. Please update the package, especially because compiling shared libraries from the LAPACK sources is a bit tricky.

This version of LAPACK also contains the new Standard C language APIs for LAPACK (result of a collaboration between LAPACK and the INTEL Math Kernel Library). If possible, it would be really nice to have this either in liblapack or in a separate package.

Lapack-3.3.1 also solves a lot of annoying bugs: http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lapack-3.3.1.html

It would be really great to have an update for this package.

Thanks a lot

I will take care of this.
Please note that it is going to be packaged a new project.

[Ilya Barygin (randomaction)]

3.3.1 is included in Oneiric.

[Janne Blomqvist (blomqvist-janne)]

LAPACK 3.4.0 was released on 2011-11-11. Among other changes, the standard C interface (LAPACKE) is now included by default, instead of being a separate download.

For more info, see http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lapack-3.4.0.html

[Chris Dellin (cdellin)]

For those still waiting for the C bindings to be packaged, I've added them to my PPA (for lucid and precise) here:
https://launchpad.net/~robotics/+archive/ppa
Let me know if you have any trouble with them.
