Spec URL: http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpms/cernlib-g77.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpms/cernlib-g77-2006-6.fc7.src.rpm
Description: 

This is a sort of compat package for the cernlib. Indeed in F7 the
cernlib is compiled by gfortran, however gfortran compiled libraries
are binary incompatible with g77 compiled libraries (and therefore
have a different soname). Moreover gfortran is sort of new, so I 
think it is interesting to be able to use g77 and gfortran compiled 
binaries and libraries in parallel.

The spec file is the cernlib specfile with the %bcond reversed in 
order to have g77 used instead of gfortran. To have cernlib and cernlib-g77
packages available from the same spec file, there is a use of a lot
of conditionals, so the spec file isn't that legible, but in my opinion 
it is more maintainable like that.
