Sometimes it is hard to decide whether to continue maintaining an
atoms module or not.... So I did "snapshots" of downloads on 9/11/2020
21:44 and 14/12/2020 12:20 respectively to see which modules are in
the actual top downloads.
Still, this is not a fair result, such as IPCV having some "patches"
which will increase the download number, and some other factors as well.
So should IPCV continue to be maintained ...?
Here's the results.
Image Processing and Computer Vision Toolbox 4620
CPGE 3176
MinGw toolbox 2946
Arduino 2936
CelestLab 2841
*iodelay toolbox* *2429*
This module is a small one, containing a single iodelay() public
function, and only functions --mainly overloads -- in Scilab language,
making the module easy to update.
This module is among the ATOMS Best-of noticeably because several other
popular modules require it as a dependency. Then iodelay is
automatically installed when its "parents" are installed.
This means that when iodelay is not up-to-date, this blocks other
modules depending on it to work. This is currently the case : 10 months
after the publication of Scilab 6.1.0, the current iodelay version is
only for Scilab 6.0.
All these aspects make me thinking that iodelay should be part of
Scilab, to be included either in the CACSD or in the signal_processing
internal Scilab modules. Then no repackaging and re-publication tasks of
the module would be needed anymore for each new Scilab 6.x version.
The iodelay module is currently published under the Cecill license. This
looks compatible with the Scilab's license.
To me this inclusion could be proposed in the next Scilab 6.1.1 release.
There is no reason to wait more.
Any comment is welcome about this proposal, noticeably from Serge, the
iodelay author.
Thanks
Samuel
