			<description><![CDATA[<p>I think you might be mistaken about the contents of the SuiteSparse package.&nbsp; Our package is complete.&nbsp; Inside its lib folders, you&#039;ll find the following:</p><p>libamd.2.3.1.a<br />libamd.a<br />libbtf.1.2.0.a<br />libbtf.a<br />libcamd.2.3.1.a<br />libcamd.a<br />libccolamd.2.8.0.a<br />libccolamd.a<br />libcholmod.2.1.2.a<br />libcholmod.a<br />libcolamd.2.8.0.a<br />libcolamd.a<br />libcxsparse.3.1.2.a<br />libcxsparse.a<br />libklu.1.2.1.a<br />libklu.a<br />libldl.2.1.0.a<br />libldl.a<br />librbio.2.1.1.a<br />librbio.a<br />libspqr.1.3.1.a<br />libspqr.a<br />libsuitesparseconfig.4.2.1.a<br />libsuitesparseconfig.a<br />libumfpack.5.6.2.a<br />libumfpack.a</p><p>Obviously the version-numbered libraries are the same as the non-versioned ones.&nbsp; The package description merely mentions two of the libraries in the set.&nbsp; Perhaps it should be modified to reflect SuiteSparse&#039;s completeness.</p><p>If you look at &quot;Other packages required:&quot; on the <a href="http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse/SuiteSparse/">SuiteSparse home page</a>, it does say that LAPACK is indeed used by SuiteSparseQR and CHOLMOD, hence the dependency in the package manager.</p><p>Having UMFPACK as a separate package is somewhat redundant, but it does eliminate some of the reliance on the much larger SuiteSparse package by providing it separately.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Actually, it is <em>not exactly</em> a package request.</p><p>I just had a look to the list of the available packages and I saw both <strong>SuiteSparse</strong> and <strong>UMFPack</strong>. There are <em>few inconsistencies</em> in the presentation (or the choice) of these two packages! And also some <em>minor errors</em>!</p><p>First, <strong>UMFPack</strong> is usually included in <strong>SuiteSparse</strong>, among others things (<strong>CHOLMOD</strong>, <strong>SPQR</strong>, ...), so it may confuse the reader who examine the package list.</p><p>Second, the <strong>SuiteSparse</strong> package is proposed, but it doesn&#039;t contain important soft as <strong>CHOLMOD</strong> and <strong>SPQR</strong>.</p><p>Third, <strong>SuiteSparse</strong> is presented as using <strong>Blas</strong> and <strong>Lapack</strong> ... <em>yes and no</em>. If I&#039;m not wrong, in the whole <strong>SuiteSparse</strong> package, only <strong>CHOLMOD</strong> depends on <strong>Blas</strong>; besides <strong>Lapack</strong> is not required for any soft inside <strong>SuiteSparse</strong>!</p>]]></description>
