[gentoo-science] Simulation software package maintainer

[Paul Cochrane]

Hi all,

I'm one of the developers of the xmds simulation program
(http://www.xmds.org; used to solve differential equations, and
applicable in a variety of fields) and would like to contact someone
interested in packaging xmds to become part of Gentoo.  The software
is licensed under the GPL and is a sourceforge.net project
(http://xmds.sf.net).  It uses autoconf for configuration and
installation so hopefully isn't too hard to package up, however I
don't have much experience in doing this myself, so it would be great
to find someone who can do this and is already a Gentoo developer.

Whom should I contact?  Is this the correct way to go about getting a
new package into Gentoo while remaining an upstream author and not a
package maintainer as such?  It would be fantastic to have this
program as part of Gentoo.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Regards,

Paul Cochrane

The proper way is to go to bugs.gentoo.org and open a new bug with the
request.

Cheers,
