One concern I have with adding "every" application is security. I think we should only add applications that are "actively supported". This will help ensure that security issues are addressed in these applications.

Also if the application is already in epel then lets leave it in epel. No need to redo it.

Hi Greg

Being an Engineer, possible name for engineering packages would be
Engineering or Physics, I would like to see Calculix/Calculix Graphix (
http://www.calculix.de/), OpenFOAM (http://www.opencfd.co.uk/openfoam/),
BRLCAD (http://brlcad.org/d/) , Dakota (http://www.cs.sandia.gov/dakota/),
Code Saturne, Syrthes, Salome Platform, (
http://research.edf.com/the-edf-offers/research-and-development/softwares-107001.html)
Scilab, Octave/QtOctave/Octave Forge, Paraview
(http://www.paraview.org/,9 GMSH (
http://www.geuz.org/gmsh/), Netgen, Code Aster (
http://www.code-aster.org/V2/spip.php?rubrique1), ....with these packages I
guess a great deal of mechanical/civil structural engineering work can be
done...

And the name "Scientific Linux" would be fully justiified...  :-)

Hello,

I am working already to create a repository of scientific packages to
integrate with SL. If there are special requests (or better yet,
people that wish to help with packaging and maintenance), please let
me know.

We have some packages already in SCM (autobuilder hasn't been
configured to build these yet), but it will still a bit before we can
get these released (again, nudging for some volunteers with scientific
app and RPM experience (or wanting to learn)).

http://www.infiscale.org/scire/

it would be great to get GRASS GIS (requires GDAL and PROJ4) packaged
for ScientificLinux:
http://grass.osgeo.org/

In our community we receive often such request. I can help of course if
needed.

Packaging notes are available at:
http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install

Section would be "Geo".

Best
Markus
