Hi Dmitry! Thanks for setting up a plan. I believe that scilab and most of its dependencies in the science project are in a state now that should be acceptable to the Factory reviewers. So this, indeed, seems like an opportune time to start the submissions. Count me in for any work that might need to be done. On Fri, 2014-04-18 at 11:13 +0400, Dmitry Roshchin wrote:
Scilab is an open source, cross-platform numerical computational package and a high-level, numerically oriented programming language. It can be used for signal processing, statistical analysis, image enhancement, fluid dynamics simulations, numerical optimization, and modeling, simulation of explicit and implicit dynamical systems and (if the corresponding toolbox is installed) symbolic manipulations. http://www.scilab.org/
Scilab in Science repository: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/science/scilab
Steps: - moving scilab-related java packages from Science to Java:packages repository
This might be the most time-consuming step, since I have usually seen submissions to Java:packages unattended for fifteen days or more (I understand there are not many reviewers for that project, so this is not meant to be offensive/rude to anyone).
- submitting this packages to Factory - submitting scilab to Factory
Note that some of the optionally required packages (specifically, I think at this point it is only "checkstyle" that fits this bill) do not build for openSUSE >= 13.1, but these are only intended for %check for a compiled scilab package and do not add any new features. I am guessing we can skip these. Could we not simply have all the dependencies submitted from science itself, skipping the submission to Java:packages altogether? Again, thanks for setting up the plan (I hope we also do sage [1] at some point).
