Bug#744140: RFH: scilab -- Scientific software package for numerical computations

[Sylvestre Ledru <sylvestre@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hello,

I am no longer working for Scilab Enterprises and I am not using Scilab.
I have a low interest on the software itself but since I worked on it for
a while, I won't orphan it immediately.

Therefor, I request assistance with maintaining the scilab package.
I can help mentoring / uploading for non DD if needed.

The package description is:
 Scilab is a matrix-based scientific software package.
 Scilab contains hundreds of built-in mathematical functions, rich
 data structures (including polynomials, rationals, linear systems, lists,
 etc...) and comes with a number of specific toolboxes for control, signal
 processing, ...
 .
 This package also provides Xcos, a graphical editor to design hybrid
 dynamical systems models. Models can be designed, loaded, saved, compiled and
 simulated.
 Stable and efficient solution for industrial and academics needs, Xcos
 provides functionalities for modeling of mechanical systems (automotive,
 aeronautics...), hydraulic circuits (dam, pipe modeling...), control systems,
 etc. Modelica capabilities are also provided.
 .
 For a minimum version of scilab, install package "scilab-cli".

Cheers,
Sylvestre
