RFS: libenglab
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "libenglab".
* Package name : libenglab
Version : 0.2.2-2
Upstream Author : BugFest Team <chserenis@ee.auth.gr>
* URL : http://englab.sf.net
* License : GPLv2
Section : libs
It builds these binary packages:
libenglab - mathematical platform with a C like syntax (run-time files)
libenglab-dev - mathematical platform with a C like syntax (development files)
The package appears to be lintian clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 491710
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libenglab
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget

EngLab is a cross-compile mathematical platform with a C like syntax
intended to be used both by engineers and users with little
programming knowledge. It supports programming through small script
files but also enables users to easily compile their own functions as
shared objects and use them through the program's main interface.
This package contains header files and a static library needed for
compiling EngLab user interfaces and toolboxes.
Is EngLab a MATLAB clone?
No, unlike other similar projects, e.g. Octave, EngLab is NOT intended
to be a MATLAB clone. On the contrary, EngLab seeks to provide an
alternative approach to the mathematical/calculation problems
engineers and scientists face in their field of expertise. Using
C-like syntax, multiple type variables and a continuously extensible
set of toolboxes, EngLab lays out an easy-to-use and powerful
environment for engineers and scientists with experience or not.
EngLab is about creating a new fast and scalable mathematical platform
that is closer to a programming language than other programs, but
still retains features such as on-demand toolbox loading and data
processing though a script programming language.
EngLab current version is at alpha stage. That means that new features
are constantly being added, but the reliability is still an issue to
be addressed.
EngLab is starting to draw attention from the open source community:
An author's interview, program review and advanced tutorial is
currently pending by Linux Format, Greece.
During it's release in June it reached a rank of 98 at sourceforge,
the last recorded rank is 118.
The program is rated 4 out of 5 stars at linux.softpedia.com

Flattering comments exist such as:

The project was started by a group of engineers in Greece.
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Kind regards
Harry Serenis
