- Disable sgemmt and dgemmt tests in the test suite on power
when gcc-13 is used. It is known (bsc#1239134) that some
of these tests fail on this architecture when OpenBLAS
is being build with the said compiler version ever since
these tests were introduced.
With this will essentially restore the situation of the
version prior to the adition of these tests (0.3.26) where
one was unaware of the problem.
This is only a temporary measure and will be removed once
the issue with gcc-13 has been resolved.
- Remove: Link-library-with-z-noexecstack.patch
since `-Wa,--noexecstack -Wl,-z,noexecstack` are global options,
now.
- Set gcc versions for ppc64le (bsc#1239702) (forwarded request 1253917 from eeich)

- Update to version 0.2.29 (jsc#PED-9676):
General:
* Fixed a potential NULL pointer dereference in multithreaded builds.
* Added function aliases for `GEMMT` using its new name `GEMMTR`
adopted by Reference-BLAS.

with row-major data.
* Improved thread scaling of multithreaded `SBGEMV`.
* Improved thread scaling of multithreaded `TRTRI`.
* Fixed compilation of the CBLAS testsuite with gcc14 (and no
Fortran compiler).
* Fixed placement of the `-fopenmp` flag and libsuffix in the
generated pkgconfig file.
* Improved the `CMakeConfig` file generated by the Makefile build.

- Update to version 0.3.27 (jsc#PED-9676):
* General:
+ Reworked the unfinished implementation of `HUGETLB` from GotoBLAS
for allocating huge memory pages as buffers on suitable systems.
+ Changed the unfinished implementation of `GEMM3M` for the generic
target on all architectures to at least forward to regular GEMM.
+ Improved multithreaded `GEMM` performance for large non-skinny
matrices.
+ Improved BLAS3 performance on larger multicore systems through
improved parallelism.
+ Improved performance of the initial memory allocation by reducing
locking overhead.
+ Improved performance of `GBMV` at small problem sizes by introducing
a size barrier for the switch to multithreading.
+ Added an implementation of the `CBLAS_GEMM_BATCH` extension.
+ Fixed corner cases involving the handling of NAN and INFINITY
arguments in `?SCAL` on all architectures.
+ Fixed NAN handling and potential accuracy issues in compilations
with Intel ICX by supplying a suitable fp-model option by default.
+ It is now possible to register a callback function that replaces
the built-in support for multithreading with an external backend
like TBB (`openblas_set_threads_callback_function`).
+ Fixed potential duplication of suffixes in shared library naming.
+ Improved C compiler detection by the build system to tolerate
more naming variants for gcc builds.
+ Fixed an unnecessary dependency of the utest on CBLAS.
+ Fixed spurious error reports from the BLAS extensions `utest`.
+ Fixed unwanted invocation of the `GEMM3M` tests in cross-
compilation.
+ Fixed a flaw in the makefile build that could lead to the (forwarded request 1234589 from eeich)

passed to make during build should also be passed to make install
to circumvent any install errors'.
This also makes sure that minimum CPU requirement is set in
the pkgconfig file is the same one as used for building.

- Update to version 0.3.27 (boo#1225869):
General:
* Added initial (generic) support for the `CSKY` architecture.
* Capped the maximum number of threads used in `GEMM`, `GETRF`
and `POTRF` to avoid creating underutilized or idle threads.
* Sped up multithreaded `POTRF` on all platforms.
* Added extension `openblas_set_num_threads_local()` that returns
the previous thread count.
* Re-evaluated the `SGEMV` and `DGEMV` load thresholds to avoid
activating multithreading for too small workloads.
* Improved the fallback code used when the precompiled number of
threads is exceeded, and made it callable multiple times
during the lifetime of an instance.
* Added CBLAS interfaces for the BLAS extensions `?AMIN`,`?AMAX`,
`CAXPYC` and `ZAXPYC`.
* Fixed a potential buffer overflow in the interface to the
`GEMMT` kernels.
* Fixed use of incompatible pointer types in `GEMMT` and
`C`/`ZAXPBY` as flagged by GCC-14.
* Fixed unwanted case sensitivity of the character parameters in
`?TRTRS` sped up the OpenMP thread management code.
* Fixed sizing of logical variables in `INTERFACE64` builds of
the C version of LAPACK.
* Fixed inclusion of new LAPACK and LAPACKE functions from
LAPACK 3.11 in the shared library.
* Modified the error thresholds for `SGS`/`DGS` functions in
the LAPACK testsuite to suppress spurious errors.
* Added support for calling ?NRM2 with a negative increment value
on all architectures.
* Fixed handling of the `OPENBLAS_LOOPS` variable in several

- Recreate old library scheme for existing products:
It turned out the new scheme on existing systems has
been causing package breakages.
- Do not generate baselibs.conf for HPC builds.
- Add support for gcc11 & 12.
- For SLE/Leap on x86_64 and s390x do not mix compiler versions
as this will make the gfortran ABI version inconsistent. Instead
use the stock compiler and set the list of kernels for x86_64
cores explicitly as Cooperlake requires compiler intrinsics
which are not provided by gcc 7.
- Require at least 7G of disk space for building. (forwarded request 1068121 from eeich)

- Make sure pre-existing (arch-independent) update-alternatives
are wiped before registering new ones.
Since update-alternatives has no reliable way to check if
a certain 'generic name' exists, brute-force it and ignore
any error (boo#1208248).
- Remove totally pointless - ie. never executed - %%posttrans
script.
- Restore generic link for update-alternatives. This is usually
set by the update-alternatives and it is '%ghost'ed but rpmlint
complains.
- Add rpmlintrc rules to avoid false positives from consistently
guessing the update-alternatives generic name wrong.
- Make arch dependent generic names conditional.
