Hello I saw a contrib directory in the gsl library. Can we put extensions packages in that directory ? So peoples downloading gsl could have a direct access to all extensions ? It could ease the process of building packages with thoses extension for the different distributions. A sort of libgsl-extra package, identical for all distributions. why not creating a special prefix for function in the packages like gsl_extra_... . Extension could maturate in that directory and then if the quality is enought it could migrate inside gsl by just renaming all gsl_extra_ into gsl_ and moving the directory to the gsl root? Frederic
