It also adds the features introduced by ** Numarray and can also be used to replace Numarray. ** ** This package contains: ** - a powerful N-dimensional array object ** - sophisticated (broadcasting) functions ** - basic linear algebra functions ** - basic Fourier transforms ** - sophisticated random number capabilities ** - tools for integrating Fortran code. ** ** numpy-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm ** numpy-1.0.4-1.x86_64.rpm ** rpm cleanup We have gone through The Upstream Vendors rpm list and tried our best to have the rpm names be the same as theirs. This includes having el5_1 being in the name. We have also gone through the rpm's checking to make sure that man pages match between i386 and x86_64. This stems from the problem of a compile time date stamp being put into man pages, and if the i386 and x86_64 rpm's aren't compiled on the same date, they don't match.
