  Description     : Dedalus is a framework for solving PDEs useful for astrophysical and geophysical fluid dynamics

Dedalus is a flexible framework for solving partial differential
equations using spectral methods. The code is open-source and developed
by a team of researchers studying astrophysical and geophysical fluid
dynamics.

Dedalus is written primarily in Python and features an easy-to-use
interface with symbolic equation entry. Our numerical algorithm produces
sparse systems for a wide variety of equations and
spectrally-discretized domains. These systems are efficiently solved
using compiled libraries and are automatically parallelized using MPI.

This package is useful because it is commonly used by researchers in
astrophysical and geophysical fields. I happen to be one of those
researchers using the package. I am not aware of another package that
provides similar functionalities already in Debian. I plan to maintain
the package as part of the Python team and I am looking for a sponsor
since this is my very first Debian package.

The project looks interesting.  Have you got a sponsor yet?

All right.  Since I

  * seldom program in Python,
  * unlike many Debian Developers, do not code for a living, and
  * attend to Debian development admittedly inconsistently,

I might make a suboptimal sponsor; but if no more suitable sponsor
appears then I might be available, to the extent to which a suboptimal
sponsor is better than none.  At least I know a little about spectral
methods, for what that's worth; and I've been a Debian Developer, though
an obscure one, since 2005.

If you like, wait a week or so for a more suitable sponsor and then, if
none appears, at your discretion, let me know how I can help.

Meanwhile, one hadn't expected to encounter a high-performance,
serious-pedigree, heavy-duty MPI numerical code in Python, but rather
in C++ or the like, so this could be interesting.

I haven't gotten a sponsor yet. Could you be my sponsor?

Usually not available for immediate reply, I was online when your
email arrived.

I would be glad.

I'll have to review your package when it's ready.  A package that works
on your own machine is a starting point; but in most cases, several
changes are required to polish a private package up to Debian's usual
level for general distribution.  My sponsor, Giacomo Catenazzi, guided
me to make such changes to my first package when he sponsored me
in 2004, so I am to do likewise for you.

I am not a prolific sponsor, having done it only once, and that over a
decade ago, so I'll be a bit rusty on the procedure; but you and I will
work it out.

Meanwhile, several questions:

1.  Have you already packaged the software as a *.deb that successfully
installs on your own machine?  (If not, then let me know if and how I
can help.)

2.  Have you read or reviewed Debian's New Maintainers' Guide?  (It can
be found among other places in the Developers' corner of the debian.org
web site).  If not then, when you have time, you'll probably want to
do that.

3.  Does your software build and run on bullseye?  On sid?  On both?

4.  Have you already chosen a package builder?  If not, there are two
or three, and you can use whichever you prefer; but for information,
pbuilder is the one with which I happen to be familiar.

5.  Does your software access the display (as via GTK, for example)?

Incidentally, the extent to which to continue to Cc our correspondence
to bugs.debian.org is up to you; but you can drop the Cc at your
discretion if you wish.
