Hi all,

I'm an astrophysics Ph.D. who is currently work in the finance industry. I've been a long standing user of Mageia and Mandriva, and I'm interested in using Mageia as a platform for professional scientific computing, particularly involving HPC

Python packaging

I'm putting together packaging with an effort to promote Mageia as the premier distribution for astronomy. Right now, I'm trying to get all of the astronomy packages in ESO scisoft into Mageia 4.

Random notes

  • rpmlint should check for things that aren't allowed by the main build like
    • Packages should not include the system directories
    • Packages should not have periods at the end of summaries
    • Man pages should not include file types
