I have requests from EECS course instructors to ask about getting some additional packages for running CAD software for some EECS courses added to the general Debathena cluster machines. Some of the packages I believe are already part of debathena-thirdparty and we wish to have others added.
ksh with a link to /bin/ksh - This already exists as part of debathena-thirdparty I believe.
mesa-utils - This also exists as part of the debathena installation process
ia32-libs - At some point this was added to Precise but it looks like only a subset is available under Trusty
libelf1:i386 - This exists under debathena on Trusty but a lot of the CAD tools look for the 32-bit library under /usr/lib32
A lot of the CAD tools are also hardwired to look for awk at /bin/awk so I'm requesting that be a link to /etc/alternatives/awk
Please let me know what you think about all of this.
Thanks.
