It sits in the scientific-computing corner of package indexes: niche, old-school C++, and useful when a project wants templated n-dimensional wavelet decomposition without a large framework. ### Project history The official README describes blitzwave as a C++ wavelet mini-library that supports wavelet decompositions of n-dimensional arrays across numerical data types, allows user-defined wavelets, and includes ready-to-use wavelets. GitHub metadata dates the repository to 2012, with tags visible for the 0.7 and 0.8 release line. The README says the library is stable, mathematically correct, and has been used in production for several scientific projects known to the author, while noting that minor API changes may still occur. ### Adoption history Public package adoption appears modest but real: the input metadata records Homebrew and MacPorts packages. That is typical for a compact scientific C++ library whose user base is more likely to be downstream researchers and build systems than a broad CLI audience. ### How it is used The package installs `blitzwave-config`, reflecting a library-oriented workflow where build scripts query compiler and linker flags. Developers use blitzwave from C++ code together with Blitz++ arrays rather than as an end-user command-line tool. ### Why package nerds care blitzwave is notable as a survivor of the template-heavy scientific C++ ecosystem around Blitz++. Its package-manager value is less about popularity and more about keeping older numerical software buildable without vendoring a specialist wavelet library. ### Timeline - 2012: Official GitHub repository created. - 2010s: README documents blitzwave as stable and used in several scientific production projects. - Package era: Homebrew and MacPorts carry blitzwave for Unix-like scientific builds. ### Related projects - Blitz++ is the array template library blitzwave builds on. - WAILI is named in the README as a performance comparison point. - Wavelet libraries and scientific C++ build tooling are the main adjacent ecosystem. ### Sources - GitHub repository metadata via gh api repos/oschulz/blitzwave - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes library-like package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - library-like package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** blitzwave - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - MacPorts - blitzwave: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: math/blitzwave/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Media and graphics packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/media-graphics-tools/) - Matched media, image, audio, video, or graphics metadata. - [autoconf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/autoconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [automake](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/automake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [libtool](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/libtool/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [epsilon](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/epsilon/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c, cli, media, wavelet. - [codec2](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/codec2/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c, cli, media. - [ebook-tools](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ebook-tools/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c, cli, media. - [fdk-aac](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/fdk-aac/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c, cli, media. - [freealut](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/freealut/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c, cli, media. - [gd](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gd/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c, cli, media. - [glew](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/glew/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c, cli, media. - [id3lib](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/id3lib/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c, cli, media. - [coin3d](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/coin3d/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
