The names 'lapack' and 'blas' are just symlinks= to=20 whatever library implements them, like the reference libraries, or ATLAS, o= r=20 perhaps at a later stage MKL. > On a related topic, I noticed that sci-libs/atlas is still being develope= d, > isn't it deprecated?

In the stable tree sci-libs/atlas is the only atlas package available.=20 lapack-atlas is currently still masked, but the idea is to perform the=20 transition soon and phase out sci-libs/atlas.
