Branch: CURRENT, Version: 11.5.1nb1, Package name: ntl-11.5.1nb1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

NTL is a high-performance, portable C++ library providing data
structures and algorithms for arbitrary length integers; for vectors,
matrices, and polynomials over the integers and over finite fields;
and for arbitrary precision floating point arithmetic.

NTL provides high quality implementations of state-of-the-art algorithms for:

o arbitrary length integer arithmetic and arbitrary precision
floating point arithmetic;
o polynomial arithmetic over the integers and finite fields
including basic arithmetic, polynomial factorization,
irreducibility testing, computation of minimal polynomials,
traces, norms, and more;
o lattice basis reduction, including very robust and fast
implementations of Schnorr-Euchner, block Korkin-Zolotarev
reduction, and the new Schnorr-Horner pruning heuristic for block
Korkin-Zolotarev;
o basic linear algebra over the integers, finite fields, and
arbitrary precision floating point numbers.

NTL is free software, and may be used according to the terms of the
GNU General Public License.

Log message:
Update to 11.5.1

Upstream changes:
2021.06.23: Changes between NTL 11.5.0 and 11.5.1
Fixed bug that prevented compilation on IBM Z.
2021.06.20: Changes between NTL 11.4.4 and 11.5.0
Added a new configuration option NTL_RANDOM_AES256CTR. The default is off. \ 
Configure with NTL_RANDOM_AES256CTR=on to replace the default ChaCha20 \ 
Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) with 256-bit AES counter mode. On certain \ 
plaforms (modern x86 and IBM System/390x), special instructions are exploited to \ 
improve performance.
Using AES in place of ChaCha may break inter-operability of applications that \ 
depend on the behavior of the PRNG.

Using AES in place of ChaCha may affect the performance positively or \ 
negatively. On IBM System/390x, there is a marked performance improvement. On \ 
x86 there may be a moderate performance improvement or degredation. On any other \ 
platforms, where there is no hardware support for AES (or none that is exploited \ 
by NTL), there will likely be a marked performance degredation.

Thanks to Patrick Steuer for contributing this code.

*: bump PKGREVISION for perl-5.32.
   2020-06-08 15:42:38 by Thomas Klausner | Files touched by this commit (8) | Package updated
Log message:
ntl: update to 11.4.3.

7 years of changes. For details see
https://www.shoup.net/ntl/doc/tour-changes.html

Remove libtool patch. This is too big to be maintained in
pkgsrc and should be upstreamed if deemed interesting enough.

Bump API requirements in bl3.mk because of this change, and
also because HElib (the only consumer of this library in pkgsrc)
needs the new version anyway and will be updated next.

all: migrate homepages from http to https

pkglint -r --network --only "migrate"

As a side-effect of migrating the homepages, pkglint also fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines. These and the new homepages have been
checked manually.
