Packages & so

[Sylvestre Ledru]

Some quick news from the free community.

= Sagemath =
A Experimental "Scilab/Sage package" is planed for Sage 3.4 and an
experimental package by Jaap Spies is available here:
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/4821

= Mandriva =
Tomasz Pawel Gajc (a regular Mandriva contributor) created a package
available here:
http://sophie.zarb.org/viewrpm/9fa2afb865a5d83f04c8fb044af68214

= Opensuse = 
A Scilab package for Opensuse has been created by Andrea Florio.
It is available here:
http://packman.links2linux.org/package/scilab/80519
and should be included in the next version of opensuse

Note that Mandriva & Opensuse packages have been created for Scilab
5.0.3 and I applied most of their patches (or update some part of the
code) for Scilab 5.0.4.

= Redhat/Fedora =
The work is still going on:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472639
They are also doing a great work packaging the misc dependencies but
they are a bit stuck about the JOGL packaging  (jogl and glugen should
produce two different packages ... which I should also do in
Debian/Ubuntu too)
See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439630

= Debian/Ubuntu =
As a reminder, it is avalable here:
http://www.scilab.org/team/sylvestre.ledru/
Debian packages are up-to-date. I have to upload the new ubuntu's
packages.

= Arch Linux =
It is also available under Arch Linux by Simon Lipp (one of our former
trainee)
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=19897

= Gentoo =
A bit stuck for now:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/237572
Markus is a nice guy, don't hesitate if you want to contribute.

Here are some news. If you want, I can send regular updates like this
mail.
