Hi, I'd love to see CalculiX as an ebuild. I've created one and wish to have it evaluated. CalculiX if a 3D finite element package with syntax similar to Abaqus. This should go to the gentoo science team. Pete

Created attachment 86427 [details] calculix-ccx-1.5.ebuild No interest in this package? I am a willing maintainer but have very little background and would require guidance. Attached is an update correcting a typo in the website.
(In reply to comment #3) > No interest in this package? I am a willing maintainer but have very little > background and would require guidance. Hi Peter, Thanks much for your ebuild. CalculiX definitely looks like a nice package. Unfortunately, the sci team currently has too many requests to process them in a timely fashion. I'll see that I can have a look at your ebuild over the next weeks. Thanks for you patience. Best, Markus
You're not alone, I'm interested as well. John

(In reply to Michael Orlitzky from comment #18) > Deceased & dropped from the sci overlay in > https://github.com/gentoo/sci/commit/90afbee2f. Hi Michael, Upstream is alive and well and at version 2.20 release about 1 month ago on a pretty regular cadence. http://www.calculix.de/ It has an active community. This comment: (https://github.com/gentoo/sci/commit/90afbee2f) Suggests its dependency (spooles) was defunct in 1999 and seemingly uses that as justification for dropping it. However, spooles still compiles and runs fine in 2022 (although the old ebuild needs an update to the newer EAPI). Further, spooles is an optional dependency; alternative solvers exist in the code itself as well as in the portage tree. (Including but intel MKL and pastix, both modern high performance solvers.) Lastly, I maintain a fork (https://github.com/gustafson/CalculiX) which allows postprocessing with paraview (also in the portage tree). All in, a professional system. Please reconsider dropping this valuable pair of packages (ccx and cgx). Is it an issue of lack-of-maintainers?
