new package (rocketworkbench), need sponsor, advocate etc
Greetings all,
I've packaged a new tool (or suite of tools)... Here's the blurb...
Package: rocketworkbench
Description: Rocket Design Utilities
The Rocket Workbench Project is a mission to develop open source
high quality software tools for the design of experimental rockets.
Using the most up to date rocket theory allows the software to
produce the most accurate results.
.
This package currently implements the following tools:
cpropep - Propellant Evaluation Program
Ok... now rocketworkbench is a 'collection' of tools of which there is
currently only one prime time ready tool - cpropep - but others are reaching
varying stages of usefulness which i'll add when they start working ;-)
I created a manpage for rocketworkbench which is going to be used as a
pointer to all the utilities and a manpage for cpropep which i've fed back
upstream and i'm guessing i'll be doing that for the other tools. Also I had
to do a bit of jiggery pokery to get an appropriate structure for examples
/usr/share/rocketworkbench/examples/cpropep/.... ie other utilities will fit
at the lowest level ie. ...../examples/graindesign/... etc
There's config files under /etc/rocketworkbench/ again only one conf file
there at the moment but there will be more.
I'm sure there's problems somewhere with what i've done so please lemme know
what to fix.
The package can be found at
http://oss.starbiz.com.au/rocketworkbench_1.0.20010807-1_i386.deb
I've given it a going over with lintian and it doesn't complain (any more :-)
)
I've obviously installed it locally and it works for me - but i'm sure you've
heard that before.
So... If someone would like to a) sponsor the package that'd be great. If
someone is happy to be an advocate for me and do the online advocate
paperwork that'd be even better :-)
Anyway... you may now return to your normal scheduled viewing....
Cheers
Geoff O'Callaghan
