Currently we have multiple Intel MKL packages (two in ::gentoo, one in ::sci) which are, to my best guess, providing the exact same package in multiple ways. I consider this to be quite worrying and frankly incorrect. None of the packages are *wrong* but it feels like we should have a small effort to only provide one package which gives MKL. Packages in point - sci-libs/mkl::gentoo - sci-libs/mkl-rt::gentoo - sci-libs/mkl::sci sci-libs/mkl::gentoo seems to be the oldest one and frankly very outdate package, which can be replaced by moving sci-libs/mkl::sci to ::gentoo. This would reduce it to two packages. OTOH mkl-rt seems to be downloading the package from continuum, which seems to have taken the standard MKL package and broken it down into multiple packages. sci-libs/mkl-rt, seems to be downloading the whole package and then installing only the libraries for use as eselect-ldso. I am not sure if there are any obvious issues to moving the eselect-ldso to sci-libs/mkl. Frankly, just having a single MKL package (disregarding mkldnn mklml) would make things a lot simpler. Comments?
