Octave For Chris

[Doug Stewart]

Hi Chris

This is the project

http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/index.html

and if you go to the download page you can find this:

"

Assuming you have Mercurial installed on your machine you may check out the latest development version of Octave sources with the following command:

hg clone http://www.octave.org/hg/octave

Once you have the repository checked out, you can resync with the archive by doing

hg pull http://www.octave.org/hg/octave
hg update

See the Mercurial manual for additional information.

"

As you can see this project uses Mercurial not git as I said last night. But the overal concept is the same.

This only gets you the basic Octave math package. There are also many add-on packages at:
http://octave.sourceforge.net/

There about 80 packages listed there;

My goal is to compile octave then add in the packages that I want then make a Ubuntu binary package to distribute to other Ubuntu users.

I would be very interested in a ubuntu package of octave.

There should be a package for it, Fil. Note, though that (in Debian)
there is an "octave" package, but it's virtual.

If you cannot find it in Aptitude, or Synaptic, make sure you have the
"universe" and "multiverse" sections in /etc/apt/sources.list for your
main repository mirrors.

Hi Filip, I am curious as to what you are going to do with Octave.

I have contributed to the Octave add-on packages and am always ready to help anyone get  it going.
