Control: retitle 661824 ITP: jel -- library for evaluating algebraic expressions in Java Control: owner 668124 !
Hi, as part of our effort to package the Virtual Observatory Java tools from Starlink, I am going to package JEL. Here is again the info block to freshen the memory: * Package name : jel Version : 2.1.1 Upstream Author : Konstantin L. Metlov <met...@fti.dn.ua> * URL : https://www.gnu.org/software/jel/ * License : GPL-3 Programming Lang: Java Description : Library for evaluating algebraic expressions in Java The JEL library enables users to enter algebraic expressions into their program. Since JEL converts expressions directly into Java bytecode, it significantly speeds up their evaluation time. If the user's Java virtual machine has a JIT compiler, expressions are transparently compiled into native machine code. . JEL may be a very useful tool for a variety of applications in science involving user-defined functions, e.g. to create plots, to apply fits to a data set and to solve integrals or differential equations. Another relevant use case for JEL is given by algebraic operations between two or more columns of a database table. Since it is of general interest, the package will be maintained by the Debian Science team. A git repository will be created at https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/jel.git Best regards Ole
