[Fedora-Packagers] SciLab

[Ankur Sinha]

hi,

Is scilab in the repos? I haven't been able to find the latest release..
It's an open source alternative to Matlab..

http://www.scilab.org/download/index_download.php?page=release#linux

The license looks open source.. :)

http://www.scilab.org/legal/

Can someone please package it ?

The older version is present in the Dries repos though..

regards,

Ankur

No, it's not in the repos yet. It's been under review for some time now:

Scilab depends on matio, which hasn't had progress in a while:
