Dear

I have obtained that matlab be replaced by octave, as the tool of
choice (aka programming environnement) for the teaching of numerical
analysis on the 2nd year at the Universit? libre de Bruxelles
(Brussels, Belgium) in the faculty of applied sciences.

For this to take place in the best conditions, a simple environnement,
looking like the one of matlab would be very helpfull. This is what
qtoctave provides: the users will "feel at home".

The computers will be equipped with ubuntu feisty, and in order for
the students to be able to use the same environnement at home without
paying or illegal copying (one strong argument in favor of octave vs
matlab), an easy installation for them is a real plus.

Jordi, whom I thank very much again, has provided a first packaging of
qtoctave.

Could you please have a look and consider what you can to to help it
become a package tat could be included in the ones easily and
officially installable on ubuntu ?

I suppose this may be helpful in other teaching environnements and universities.

Best regards,

Nicolas

(Note to octave-help list subscribers who may be interested: I
attempted to stick to Debian policy after all, which is why I'm
attempting to add this to Debian's repositories. The dotdeb works in
Debian's current testing, and should be easily built for other
distributions. Note that Qt4 is required to build and run the
package.)

Hello, Debian mentors.

This is my first attempt to upload a Debian package and the first
package I've ever built believing to be adhering to Debian policy. I
don't even know what the exact etiqutte for RFSing or where all those
people are getting the RFS template or how exactly I should upload
things.

The Debianised source tarball is found here:

     http://www.cimat.mx/~jordi/debian/qtoctave_0.5.1-1.debian.tar.gz

The dotdeb I built in Lenny (but which *should* build in unstable
unless libqt4-dev is more heavily patched than I think) is found here:

     http://www.cimat.mx/~jordi/debian/qtoctave_0.5.1-1_i386.deb

It is mostly Lintian-clean, save for #428403 and a missing manpage for
widgetserver whose purpose I have not yet discerned.

Cheers,
- Jordi G. H.
