Subject: [PATCH 00/41] Improve performance in lapack dependent packages.

From: Romain GARBAGE <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2024 12:01:55 +0100

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
