Severity: wishlist

* Package         : yorick-yeti
  Version         : 6.0.2

  Description     : several plug-ins for Yorick

 Yeti is an extension of Yorick (a fast interpreted interactive data
  processing language written by David Munro) which implements:

   * hash table objects
   * regular expressions
   * complex, real-complex and complex-real FFT by FFTW (the Fastest Fourier
     Transform in the West - version 2)
   * wavelet filtering ("à trou" method)
   * fast convolution along a chosen dimension with various border conditions
   * more string functions
   * memory hacking routines
   * more math functions (sinc, round, arc)
   * generalized matrix-vector multiplication (with possibly sparse matrix)
   * routines to query/check Yorick's symbols
   * support for reading TIFF images
   * morpho-math operators
   * ...

  This distribution of Yeti may come with several extensions (depending
  whether corresponding directories exist or not):

   * yeti_fftw - support for FFTW
   * yeti_regex - support for POSIX regular expressions
   * yeti_tiff - support for reading TIFF images


I am packaging the new version of Yorick (2.1.02), which includes support
for plug-ins, as well as some of the available plug-ins. Yorick-yeti is
one (or rather four, actually) of them.

I intend to split the package (as suggested by upstream) into four
binary packages:
 - yorick-yeti: general purpose utilities;
 - yorick-yeti-tiff: support for reading TIFF images;
 - yorick-yeti-regex: support for POSIX regular expressions;
 - yorick-yeti-fftw: a wrapper for the Fastest Fourier Transform in the
   West, v. 2.
