(Get the code!)
I'd also like to add a request for pulling the most recent Debian version of fftw 3.3 (more specifically fftw-dev), precisely *because* it includes MPI support as well as AVX support, which the Ubuntu version doesn't.
I'm one of the authors of the XMDS2 numerical differential equation solver (www.xmds.org), and our XMDS2 installer for Ubuntu currently has to download the source for FFTW 3.3 and compile it on the local machine with MPI and AVX configuration options. This slow and fragile. Pulling FFTW in from the Ubuntu repos like all the other dependencies would be really nice.
I'm not completely sure how the Ubuntu repositories are organised, but if the openmpi package isn't going to move to main, could an MPI / AVX enabled-version of FFTW 3.3 sit in Universe? Or would different builds of the same package in different repositories be a non-starter?
