RFS: freemat

[Giuseppe Iuculano]

Dear DDs on debian-science,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "freemat".

* Package name    : freemat
  Version         : 3.6~dfsg-1
  Upstream Author : Samit Basu <samitbasu@...>
* URL             : http://freemat.sourceforge.net/
* License         : GPLv2
  Section         : math

It builds these binary packages:
freemat    - Mathematics Framework (mostly MATLAB compatible)
freemat-data - freemat data files
freemat-help - freemat help files

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 391887 (ITP)


FreeMat is a free environment for rapid engineering and scientific
prototyping and data processing. It is similar to commercial systems
such as MATLAB from Mathworks, and IDL from Research Systems, but is
Open Source.

Thanks to Neil Williams and Bernd Zeimetz, now freemat should be dfsg
compatible.
dpmpar.f, enorm.f, fdjac2.f, lmdif1.f, lmdif.f, lmpar.f, qrfac.f,
qrsolv.f have been removed because of licence issues and because there
is no good reason for two packages to distribute identical source code
(Rebuild against libminpack1)


The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/freemat
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/freemat/freemat_3.6~dfsg-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards
 Giuseppe Iuculano
