Actually on counting them, I realise that there are 8 Matlab/IDL like
packages.
I have therefore created a "Numerical Computation" package and
uploaded it.
I don't feel the description fully captures what I want it to say, so
suggestions for improvement appreciated. The name is not set in stone
either.
Task: Numerical Computation
Description: Debian Science Numerical Computation packages
This metapackage will install Debian Science packages useful for
numerical computation. The packages provide an array oriented
calculation and visualisation system for scientific computing and
data analysis. These packages are similar to commercial systems such
as Matlab and IDL.
Depends: octave | octave3.0 | octave3.1
Why: numerical programming environment similar to Matlab
Suggests: octaviz
Why: 3D visualisaion system for Octave
Depends: python-matplotlib, python-scipy, ipython, numpy
Why: numerical programming environment similar to Matlab
Depends: pdl
Why: numerical programming environment similar to Matlab
Depends: gnudatalanguage
Why: numerical programming environment compatible with IDL
Depends: scilab
Depends: freemat
Depends: yoric
