bornagain
- Ebuilds: 2, Testing: 24.0 Description:
BornAgain is a software package to simulate and fit small-angle
scattering experiments (X-ray and neutron) at grazing-incidence
geometry (GISAS / GISANS) and specular reflectivity. It implements
the distorted-wave Born approximation, supports sample structures
built from layered media with embedded particles, and runs from a
Qt6 GUI or a Python scripting interface.

demeter
- Ebuilds: 2, Testing: 0.9.27, Snapshot: 9999 Description:
As of 2026-04-28 demeter uses sci-physics/xraylarch (Larch) as
its analysis backend. Upstream ifeffit
(github.com/newville/ifeffit) was deleted; demeter has
first-class Larch support via lib/Larch.pm, which drives a
larch_server XML-RPC daemon (shipped by xraylarch). Set
DEMETER_BACKEND=larch in the runtime environment to pick the
Larch path; some peripheral features still defer to Ifeffit per
upstream's todo.org "Larch v. Ifeffit problem areas", but the
common Athena/Artemis analysis path works.

ifeffit
- Ebuilds: 1, Testing: 1.2.11d Description:
Upstream's GitHub repository (github.com/newville/ifeffit) was
deleted on 2026-04-23; the author's maintained successor is
Larch, packaged as sci-physics/xraylarch. This ebuild ships
1.2.11d.orig.tar.gz as preserved in the Ubuntu archive (the
only host that still serves it; SourceForge's files area stops
at 1.2.11c). The sourceforge remote-id below points at the
original project page that predates the github move.

oommf
- Ebuilds: 3, Testing: 2.1_alpha2 Description:
OOMMF is a project in the Applied and Computational Mathematics Division (ACMD) of ITL/NIST, in close cooperation with µMAG, aimed at developing portable, extensible public domain programs and tools for micromagnetics. This code forms a completely functional micromagnetics package, with the additional capability to be extended by other programmers so that people developing new code can build on the OOMMF foundation. OOMMF is written in C++, a widely-available, object-oriented language that can produce programs with good performance as well as extensibility. For portable user interfaces, we make use of Tcl/Tk so that OOMMF operates across a wide range of Unix, Windows, and MacOSX platforms. The main contributors to OOMMF are Mike Donahue, and Don Porter.
