Thank you very much. As you say, hopefully this will clear the NEW
queue in time for lenny!

Indeed!
* I put an enormous amount of work into a package for Salomé 3.2.6
which worked in January but doesn't quite now. 3.2.9 has been
out in binary form for months with no source code release. When
it is released, I will port my package and upload.
* I have packaged much of Aster, but it's not quite usable yet,
and they are about to release a new version.
* FreeCAD has its own package, but it puts everything in /opt.
Teemu Ikonen mentioned on debian-science that he would upload a
package to contrib, presumably one which follows the FHS.
* Impact should not be hard, I'll try to get to it soon. Thing
is, it's in Java, and the Sun JRE runs it three times faster
than GIJ...
* BRL-CAD has been in the works for some time. Unfortunately, it
depends on an unreleased version of [incr tcl], which will
probably keep it out indefinitely.
And there are more to come...
Cheers,
-Adam
