Scilab in etch ?
Hello, Is there a chance that we will get scilab in etch ? We work quite a lot with it and it would be much nicer to install a .deb then to install it from source... cu Markus Grunwald Softwareentwicklung PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH Oskar-Messter-Straße 19-21 85737 Ismaning www.pruftechnik.com Tel: +49 (0)89 99616177 Fax: +49 (0)89 99616200

Scilab is not free software [1] and therefore cannot be included in debian proper, ever. Unless they change their license.

It's in non-free, but with RC bugs, and no version in testing, only unstable. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Ok, but it once was in sarge, if I remember correctly and it is in unstable now (http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/scilab.html). Have they recently changed the license ? Probably not. All *you* probably want to know is on that link: - there are release critical bugs (doesn't build on alpha platform) - etch is frozen, packages may only enter at the discretion of the release managers. Confused, Sorry, if I confused you. By 'debian' proper I mean the 'main archive'. Scilab was/will be in 'non-free'.
