Description Paolo Pedroni 2012-05-04 11:22:51 UTC
Version 27.7 of sci-mathematics/gimps is available for download.

This is a release candidate for the new version.

This version fixes a number of bugs in 27.6:
1. A slower trial factoring algorithm is chosen sometimes.
2. The round off error can be incorrectly calculated.
3. Mprime -v does not print out the build number.
4. Torture test on small FFTs gets round off errors or crashes after a while. In very rare cases, regular tests could crash or raise a round off error.
5. Multithreaded FFTs could deadlock.

Known bugs and fixes:
 none known at the moment.

This is a candidate for stable if no bugs or regressions come up.

Renaming the existing ebuild works like a charm.

BTW the following files can be deleted from the files/ directory as they are not referenced by any remaining ebuild:
gimps-24.14-conf.d
gimps-24.14-init.d
gimps-25.6-init.d
gimps-25.7-init.d
