Hello,

Romain GARBAGE <[email-masked]> skribis:

> This patch series aims at improving the performance of several packages by changing the LAPACK library they depend on.
>
> The package `lapack` is the reference implementation from netlib.org of a numerical linear algebra library, written in FORTRAN.
>
> The package `openblas` is a optimized implementation of the LAPACK and BLAS APIs.
>
> Among the modified packages affected by the change, the following don't build:
>  * shogun: atlas dependency doesn't build (pre-existing error)
>  * lush2: preexisting error
>  * proteinortho: preexisting error (tests 2 and 3 fail)
>  * superlu-dist: dependency failure (combinatorial-blas)
>
>
> Also, the following packages have not been modified as it breaks the package:
>  * xyce-serial
>  * xyce-parallel
>  * gnss-sdr
>  * julia

<https://qa.guix.gnu.org/issue/69729> hasn’t processed it yet but it’s
already been more than two weeks.  Given that you tested all the
dependents on guix.bordeaux.inria.fr, I’m willing to go ahead and push
the series within a few days even if qa.guix hasn’t caught up yet.

Thoughts?
