Summary: Review Request: perl-Math-BigInt-GMP - Use the GMP library for Math::BigInt routines Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: Package Review AssignedTo: nobody@fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: paul@city-fan.org QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: notting@redhat.com, fedora-package-review@redhat.com Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora
Spec URL: http://www.city-fan.org/~paul/extras/perl-Math-BigInt-GMP/perl-Math-BigInt-G... SRPM URL: http://www.city-fan.org/~paul/extras/perl-Math-BigInt-GMP/perl-Math-BigInt-G... Description:
Provides support for big integer calculations via means of the GMP C-library.
Math::BigInt::GMP provides its own XS layer to access the GMP C-library rather than using Math::GMP as an intermediate layer, an approach that reduces the memory footprint compared with the old approach used in earlier versions of Math::BigInt.
This package is needed to provide GMP support for Math::BigInt-using packages (such as perl-Crypt-DSA and perl-Crypt-DH) in Fedora 9 onwards, where the Math::BigInt implementation has changed and no longer uses the existing Math::GMP module.
