Bug 165934 – new package sci-libs/ipp-5.2.059

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bolek Tekielski 2007-02-08 16:24:01 UTC]

IPP( Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives) is an extensive library of multi-core-ready, highly optimized software functions for multimedia and data processing applications, free for personal, non-commercial use. Since icc and ifc (Intel's C/C++ and fortran compilers) ebuilds are available either in portage or bugzilla, it would be nice to have IPP as well.

Reproducible: Always

[Comment 1 Kevin Fullerton 2007-03-31 21:17:31 UTC]

From the link does not appear to be free software, and only way to get the source to create an ebuild is to pay for it - does not seem to be GPL/OSS licensed unless you have a link for an open source version?

[Comment 2 Bolek Tekielski 2007-04-03 08:38:44 UTC]

It's the same situation as with Intel c compiler - it's free for personal, non commercial use. See http://www.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/340679.htm for details.

[Comment 3 Kevin Fullerton 2007-04-03 08:55:08 UTC]

I'm going to leave this to someone who knows more about licensing, as each copy requires a license and serial number from Intel, and there is no public download repository for the files (which are >150Mb each in size)

[Comment 4 Bolek Tekielski 2007-04-03 19:02:53 UTC]

Isn't it same situation with IPP which is already in portage??

[Comment 5 Denis Demidov 2007-08-25 10:49:44 UTC]

icc, ifc, mkl (all Intel products) are in portage already. They share the same licensing policy with ipp (free for non-commercial use) and have fetch restriction. So they sould be no problem with including ipp in portage

Sorry guys I forgot to mention ipp-5.2.059 has been in the science overlay for a while. The newer version might hit the main tree when ready.

Thanks.

Created attachment 138273 [details]
Latest version of IPP

Here is the lates version of IPP.
NOTES: 
- Added ia64 (itanium) package source base (not tested)
- licence checking has been modified to check inside "packaged" licences
- Success checking has been modified to check for IPPEula.txt instead of an arbitrary "volatile" lib name.
- Changed license to LICENSE="Intel-SDP"
- TESTS don't seem to work for some reason, I keep getting:

-- psCpuTicker. ioctl: Setting of IRQ rate fails
: Inappropriate ioctl for device

- Reduced silent mode file usage in favor of more generic/stable command line arguments.

[Comment 8 Eric Thibodeau 2007-12-13 04:59:29 UTC]

Note: I just ran the tests as a regular user and they all passed. I even did an `ebuild unpack` and they wouldn't run in the unpacked dir as root but would as a regular user...go figure.

Now in CVS main tree. Thanks.
