Hi science mates, |
2 |
|
3 |
I just released g-octave 0.3, that come with some cool features: |
4 |
|
5 |
Modular support for package managers |
6 |
---------------------------------------------- |
7 |
g-octave can use any of the 3 package managers available for Gentoo |
8 |
Linux right now (Portage, Paludis and Pkgcore). The user can change |
9 |
between the package managers easily, changing a configuration option. |
10 |
|
11 |
Optional logging |
12 |
------------------- |
13 |
g-octave can write a log file, with the log level and location |
14 |
selected on the configuration. If the log level is omitted, the |
15 |
logging feature will be disabled. |
16 |
|
17 |
Update of installed packages |
18 |
---------------------------------- |
19 |
A new command-line option was introduced to g-octave: --update. With |
20 |
this option the user will be able to try to update some package for a |
21 |
new version, or to try to update all the installed packages. |
22 |
|
23 |
Override configuration options from the file '/etc/g-octave;cfg' with |
24 |
environment variables |
25 |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
26 |
g-octave can understand environment variables from the "GOCTAVE_" name |
27 |
space. The environment variable will be: GOCTAVE_ + uppercase |
28 |
configuration. e.g. GOCTAVE_OVERLAY. All the options available on the |
29 |
configuration file can be override. |

36 |
The updated ebuild is already on the science overlay. |

Comments and suggestions are welcome! |
