Andreas, it might be helpful if you actually go to the page [1]. It does give a lot of information about ready to install software and what repositories they are found, etc. It is however, not limited to just software available in Debian/Ubuntu but 3rd party software that scientists might find useful. It has a lot of profit for the user if they don't know specifically what scientific software is out there or where to look. It is just meant as a useful portal for Ubuntu users to "plug" into science related software available to them. It does very little to address developer-related concerns. I'm not saying Debian Science should adopt such a page, quite the opposite, the tasks lists are very impressive indeed. -Jordan [1] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuScience -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
