Re: Simulation software package maintainer
Christian,
Great to get a reply, and so quickly!
The "correct" way would be to file a request for packaging (RFP) bug report
with the debian BTS. I searched on the bugs.d.o webpage, but could not find
anything, so you either have to know where to look or what to look for in
your favourite search engine:
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/
You need to file a bug against wnpp, details on that page, copy&paste does
not work on my last remaining debian box...
Given your reply below, is it still worth my while filing the bug, or
should I let you handle this? That's just a question, I can still
file a bug, no problems.
But it is good that you ask on this list, IMHO, this might help in finding
somebody interested in packaging this. We have a new student that is supposed
to solve some ODEs in C++, without having any programming experience. This
might be a way to speed up code development. If we go this way, I would
probably package it for local use, if nobody else does it. Then I might be
willing to maintain it also. But first I have to build a new computer and/or
resurrect my notebook at home...
Hrm, sounds as if I should give you some time :-) Good luck with
resurrecting the notebook!
are the plots on the webpage created by
xmds, too?
Actually, no. Not directly. The data is from xmds, however they're
from Matlab. xmds has a program which converts its output format (xml
based, and portable) into matlab or scilab output (which itself uses
gnuplot).
Why didn't you announce this two weeks ago, we gave a class about solving
ODEs numerically, this would have been great and my notebook was still
working then...
Well... Actually, at the time I was working on a talk to explain to
my institute about how great xmds is, so didn't really have the time
:-)
It would also be interesting to see how one could use xmds within a
teaching curriculum, however that's probably a question for a later
time.
Many thanks for getting back to me!
Regards,
Paul
