Source: gf-complete Section: libs Priority: extra Maintainer: Thomas Goirand Build-Depends: autotools-dev, debhelper (>= 9), dh-autoreconf, autoconf-archive Standards-Version: 3.9.5 Homepage: https://bitbucket.org/jimplank/gf-complete Vcs-Git: git://anonscm.debian.org/openstack/gf-complete.git Vcs-Browser: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=openstack/gf-complete.git;a=summary Package: libgf-complete-dev Section: libdevel Architecture: any Depends: libgf-complete1 (= ${binary:Version}), ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends} Description: Galois Field Arithmetic - development files Galois Field arithmetic forms the backbone of erasure-coded storage systems, most famously the Reed-Solomon erasure code. A Galois Field is defined over w-bit words and is termed GF(2w). As such, the elements of a Galois Field are the integers 0, 1, . . ., 2^w − 1. Galois Field arithmetic defines addition and multiplication over these closed sets of integers in such a way that they work as you would hope they would work. Specifically, every number has a unique multiplicative inverse. Moreover, there is a value, typically the value 2, which has the property that you can enumerate all of the non-zero elements of the field by taking that value to successively higher powers. . This package contains the development files needed to build against the shared library.
