Hello list, I hope this is the correct place to ask, I loked around the project and it seemed the most appropriate list.
I'd like to (finally) contribute binary packages of octave built with and bundled with the mingw32 gcc. I had a look at the download section and found that there are are already some package sections. Now the questions is how to add the mingw32 binaries into the download structure of the project. What I'd like to provide is: 1) Octave mingw32 binaries 2) the corresponding Sources & Patches (Octave and all dependencies included) - compliance to GPL etc. 3) ATLAS v3.8.1 binaries for some architectures 1) and 2) should be fairly obvious, I guess. Item 3) should be a seperate item IMO, since these binaries do not follow the release cycle of octave, and therefore are kind of a general add-on to many octave binaries. I therefore would distribute them seperately from the octave binaries. I would suggest therefore 3 new sections, like "octave forge windows mingw32 binaries" "octave forge windows mingw32 sources" "octave forge windows mingw32 atlas" Or one could combine the atlas binaries into the binaries section be relinking them to every new release (supposing this is possible)? Like having the sections "octave forge windows mingw32 binaries" "octave forge windows mingw32 sources" and the binaries containing, e.g. <Octave n.n.n for Windows/mingw32> <Octave n.n.n for Windows/mingw32 - ATLAS> i.e. two new entries for every new version/release of octave. Or adding the ATLAS binaries to every released binary directly. Like "OCTAVE FORGE WINDOWS MINGW32" <Octave n.n.n for WIndows/mingw32> - 2008-mm-dd - a-binary-file-of-octave - a-different-file-maybe-installer-or-other-zip-format-binary - ATLAS-binary-ARCH_1 - ATLAS-binary-ARCH_2 - ATLAS-binary-ARCH_3 ... Comments? Aside from the structure definitions: who can add/modify the download page structure? who can then actually add files to the download section? me? an admin only? benjamin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
