[Scilab-users] New ATOMS toolbox - what now?
Hi there I created an ATOMS toolbox for the CMA-ES optimization algorithm. You can find it here: https://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/CMA-ES Question 1: Status This module is being packaged ... How long shall I wait? I have waited 9 days so far. During creation of this ATOMS toolbox I could not test in Scilab because Scilab will not load ATOMS (zip) package because of a missing DESCRIPTION file. Very irritating, and without much help, so I made one - but it still didn't work. I uploaded the ATOMS toolbox even though strictly speaking I could not load it into Scilab. I was unable to test ... I wrote this bug report: http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13209 As far as I can see this bug report has gotten nowhere. Someone please help me. Most importantly, please help me finish packing the CMA-ES ATOMS package, so that I can load it into Scilab and test it (and then improve the package - e.g. with much better documentation). I would like to add a good example to the help file (fully executable), explain the difference between functional and object-oriented execution, and I'd like to add some nice demos, e.g. of the entire BBOB test suite - that would be cool... but there's no point in doing this if the package is not up to Scilab code and/or cannot work 100%. I need help. /Claus --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Hi Claus, Before being available in automatic mode through ATOMS, you may - either use ATOMS functions to manage the package as downloaded by hand - or unzip it into the contrib directory, as an external package. Then, it should appear in the /Modules/ menu of the console (for forthcoming sessions), and be loadable by hand by clicking on it in the menu.

Re: [Scilab-users] New ATOMS toolbox - what now?
Dear Samuel I have adapted the original source code from Nikolaus Hansen. His source for Scilab 5 works perfectly fine. I have all the reason to believe that downloading the ZIP file and manually extracting it into a work directory will work just fine. This is how I have used the source from Nikolaus Hansen for 2-3 years now. I have also had my friend Sébastien Salmon (author of the PSO toolbox) download the zip file from below link to the CMA-ES ATOMS package. He confirms it install manually just fine. What I need is a package where I can write atomsInstall(package) and it will install. Unfortunately, as can be seen from the bugzilla report, I cannot do this. I get this error: !--error 1 atomsDESCRIPTIONread: The file 'C:\Users\Claus\AppData\Local\SCILAB~1.1\.atoms\tmp_1390641250\CMA-ES\DESCRIPTION' is not well formated at line 25 at line 224 of function atomsDESCRIPTIONread called by : at line 160 of function atomsInstall called by : ilab54/Archives/CMA-ES.zip Please help me setup the ATOMS zip file, so that this error goes away and the package can be installed + used as intended. Send the good zip file to me. The rest I can take care of (run some development loops to make the package perfect).
