It supports programming through small script files but also enables users to easily compile their own functions as shared objects and use them through the program's main interface. This package contains header files and a static library needed for compiling EngLab user interfaces and toolboxes. Is EngLab a MATLAB clone? No, unlike other similar projects, e.g. Octave, EngLab is NOT intended to be a MATLAB clone. On the contrary, EngLab seeks to provide an alternative approach to the mathematical/calculation problems engineers and scientists face in their field of expertise. Using C-like syntax, multiple type variables and a continuously extensible set of toolboxes, EngLab lays out an easy-to-use and powerful environment for engineers and scientists with experience or not. EngLab is about creating a new fast and scalable mathematical platform that is closer to a programming language than other programs, but still retains features such as on-demand toolbox loading and data processing though a script programming language. EngLab current version is at alpha stage. That means that new features are constantly being added, but the reliability is still an issue to be addressed. EngLab is starting to draw attention from the open source community: An author's interview, program review and advanced tutorial is currently pending by Linux Format, Greece. During it's release in June it reached a rank of 98 at sourceforge, the last recorded rank is 118. The program is rated 4 out of 5 stars at linux.softpedia.com http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Science-and-Engineering/Mathematics/Englab-console-37081.shtml Flattering comments exist such as: http://www.computerworlduk.com/COMMUNITY/BLOGS/index.cfm?entryid=1020blogid=14 The project was started by a group of engineers in Greece.

Apparently, that's the way it's supposed to work:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Installing_extensions
*sigh* why didn't they just get things from /usr/share/mozilla/extensions,
while install.rdf contains everything already...
I'll discuss that with upstream.
Mike
I filed a bug and got an answer:
The documentation does not say that that is possible, though I agree it could
be better worded. (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448260)
So it doesn't seem to be possible to install this extension to just
one directory. Would it be a good solution if I install mozvoikko in
/usr/share/mozilla/extensions/{iceweasel_id}/{id} and create a symlink
from /usr/share/mozilla/extensions/{icedove_id}/{id} to that
directory?

Please re-work the synopsis in line with the Best Packaging Practices
URL:http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices#s-bpp-pkg-synopsis.
The synopsis should not be capitalised like the start of a sentence.
The synopsis should be an appositive clause to help state what the
package is, such that it fits into the following template:
packagename is {a,an,the} synopsis
A better synopsis for this package might be:
lister for TV programme guides
If that doesn't actually describe what the package does, feel free to
improve it.
