[Pw_forum] upf for siesta pseudopotentials

[Paolo Giannozzi]

Hi Kurt

not that I know. It shouldn't be that difficult, but
remember: PWscf uses separable PP only, and 
only projectors are stored in the upf format, not
pseudopotentials in semilocal form. In order to
build the former from the latter, you need in any 
case the pseudowavefunctions.

> Can pwscf run without information about the pseudowavefunctions?

it should, unless you want to calculate projections on
atomic wavefunctions and similar stuff
