Hi science mates, I just released g-octave 0.3, that come with some cool features:
Modular support for package managers ---------------------------------------------- g-octave can use any of the 3 package managers available for Gentoo Linux right now (Portage, Paludis and Pkgcore). The user can change between the package managers easily, changing a configuration option. Optional logging ------------------- g-octave can write a log file, with the log level and location selected on the configuration. If the log level is omitted, the logging feature will be disabled. Update of installed packages ---------------------------------- A new command-line option was introduced to g-octave: --update. With this option the user will be able to try to update some package for a new version, or to try to update all the installed packages. Override configuration options from the file '/etc/g-octave;cfg' with environment variables ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- g-octave can understand environment variables from the "GOCTAVE_" name space. The environment variable will be: GOCTAVE_ + uppercase configuration. e.g. GOCTAVE_OVERLAY. All the options available on the configuration file can be override. More information can be found on the documentation: http://soc.dev.gentoo.org/~rafaelmartins/g-octave/docs/0.3/ The updated ebuild is already on the science overlay. Comments and suggestions are welcome! Thanks! -- Rafael Goncalves Martins http://rafaelmartins.eng.br/
