For other information, my personnal website is available or the Scilab official website.

For the Scilab project, I backport some packages from Debian to Ubuntu to help the development of Scilab:

FAQ

I want to build the package myself, is it difficult ?
No, it is very easy since I did all the borring and hard part.
1. Checkout the packaging files from the Debian Science repository.
svn checkout svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-science/packages/scilab/trunk/ scilab
cd scilab
2. Download the tarball from Scilab website
uscan --verbose --force-download
3. Install the build dependencies
apt-get build-dep scilab
4. start to build the package:
svn-buildpackage --svn-override=origDir=../ --svn-ignore-new
You might have svn-buildpackage complaining about missing packages... Install them (with the right version and it should work).

I would like to contribute to Scilab. How should I do ?
Please drop me an email or register to our dev mailing list.

I would like to contribute to the Debian/Ubuntu packaging of Scilab. How should I do ?
Register to Debian Science and send a patch to the Debian Science Maintainers mailing list.

Somtimes, I get some warnings when I start Scilab.
Yep, I know. I am aware of this. It is no big deal.

I love your work. I would like to thank the Scilab team and you!
