Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 + src:dsfmt

Dsfmt was packaged by the Debian Julia Team as a dependency of
Julia.  Since Julia has been removed from the archive, see #1011382, I
hereby orphan dsfmt.

The package description is:
 The double-precision SIMD-oriented Fast Mersenne Twister (dSFMT) is a variant
 of the Mersenne Twister pseudorandom number generator designed for modern CPUs
 with multi-stage pipelining and SIMD instructions. dSFMT directly generates
 IEEE 754 format double-precision floating-point pseudorandom numbers in the
 ranges [1, 2), [0, 1), (0, 1] and (0, 1), and supports various periods from
 2^521-1 to 2^216091-1.



Added indication that 1031269 affects src:dsfmt Request was from Graham Inggs <ginggs@debian.org> to submit@bugs.debian.org. (Tue, 14 Feb 2023 10:06:03 GMT) (full text, mbox, link).
