Description Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2018-11-13 00:06:59 UTC
Spec URL: https://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/python-brian2/python-brian2.spec
SRPM URL: https://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/python-brian2/python-brian2-2.2-1.fc29.src.rpm

Description:
Brian2 is a simulator for spiking neural networks available on almost all
platforms. The motivation for this project is that a simulator should not only
save the time of processors, but also the time of scientists.

It is the successor of Brian1 and shares its approach of being highly flexible
and easily extensible. It is based on a code generation framework that allows
to execute simulations using other programming languages and/or on different
devices.

Please report issues to the github issue tracker
(https://github.com/brian-team/brian2/issues) or to the brian support mailing
list (http://groups.google.com/group/briansupport/)

Documentation for Brian2 can be found at http://brian2.readthedocs.org

> 

They aren't devel files in the usual sense---they arent used by users to build against brian. They are template files that are used by brian itself to generate standalone simulations using a code-generator. So, they are required by brian at runtime.

More information on it here: https://brian2.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/computation.html#standalone-code-generation

Should these still be moved to a devel sub package?

Thanks,
Ankur
