Hi, wnpp-alert showed me scilab was 'O', so I came to look ; from what I see on bug #744140 : - Sylvestre put it under RFH and as nobody answered, proceeded to O. - Wolfgang came in to ITA, got sidetracked ; - Wolfgang came back, created the git repo, got sidetracked ;
but in fact, looking at the git repo and the package page: - the git repo hasn't been touched since more than a year ; - the svn repo got regular contribution and is used to maintain the package by several people (Gilles Filippini and Sébastien Villemot) under the Debian Science Team umbrella. Finally the upstream homepage says 6.0.0 is out since february. So my questions are: - is it O or not? - who's working on packaging 6.0.0? - is it normal that a package under the Debian Science Team umbrella still uses svn? and the final one: - how can I help?
