why don't you name it something like Qwt5 or Qwt-legacy and explain in the readme why it is different from Qwt 6? Or can't you build it directly in the SciDAVis package? I maintain QtiPlot, and it is possible to build in alglib for example.
btw, congratulations on the SlackBuild for scidavis, it will good to have this on SBo. Seems that GPL QtiPlot will not be updated anymore (newest version has another license, and source code is not freely available) so at some point it may become impossible to build. -petar 2016-12-13 15:29 GMT+02:00 Fellype do Nascimento <[email protected]>: > Hi all! > > I want to submit a SlackBuild script for Qwt, version 5.2.3, which is > required by another application I want to submit a SlackBuild (SciDAVis). > Qwt 5.x is required by SciDAVis because its code was not ported to Qwt 6.x > yet, then it doesn't build with Qwt 6. > Currently, SlackBuilds.org has a build script for Qwt 6.1.3, whose > maintainer is Christoph Willing. > I wrote a SlackBuild for Qwt 5 in a way that it does not conflict with Qwt 6 > if it is installed on the system, based on the Arch Linux experience. > Do I need to get permission from Christoph (or from Zordrak, the previous > maintainer of Qwt 5) to submit a script from an earlier version of Qwt? > If yes, could you give me that permission Christoph? > I also asked Zordrak for the permission, but he doesn't answered yet. > > Thanks in advance. > Best regards, > > Fellype > > > > _______________________________________________ > SlackBuilds-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users > Archives - https://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ > FAQ - https://slackbuilds.org/faq/ > > _______________________________________________ SlackBuilds-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - https://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - https://slackbuilds.org/faq/
