Yes, I completely agree with this premise. I will prepare merge
request for Vaclav in https://github.com/eudoxos/minieigen

And in meantime I will include minieigen sources in yade tree, just
like we did with python-gts. By this way it will work for everyone
without dependency hell, until the changes are in official minieigen
repository.

thanks a lot for your work.

best regards
Janek

BTW, Anton did you notice that building debian package fails on
master due to missing python-gts?
