Thanks, btw, it looks like FC has gotten rid of LAPACk. I have noticed that you are from a Math Sci place. Do you know how we can get Extras or other places to carry these things? While we can build these things, it would really help if there is an available repository so that people who don't want to mess with building can have yum or something automatically update.
AFAIK, it's fairly easy to get a package into Extras if you are willing to maintain it. Some of the other repos may also be willing to carry it on request, esp. if it comes with a maintainer. LAPACK should be pretty easy to maintain, too, as it is fairly standalone and there's already a decent spec file for it.
I only use lapack occasionally, but I'd be willing test, QA, and otherwise help maintain it in Extras.
Then you want to bring the issue up on fedora-extras-list. And the community salutes you!
