1 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.
