[Pkg-octave-devel] Changing hands of glpk-shlib and sundials

[Rafael Laboissiere]

[Cross posting to pkg-{octave,scicomp}-devel; I hope this is not abusive]

The Debian Octave Group is currently maintaining two packages that are
not per-se Octave packages.  The first one is glpk-shlib, a fork of glpk
producing a shared library, which is needed by a dynloaded module in
Octave.  The second one is sundials, for which an Octave interface is
planned.

Although the DOG could happily continue the maintenance of these packages,
I think that they would fit better in pkg-scicomp, because this later
project has a more general agenda than pkg-octave.

Therefore, I would like to ask the members of both pkg-octave and
pkg-scicomp what they think about this.  In the case there are no
objections, I would like to be added as a member of the pkg-scicomp
project.  I would them migrate the SVN sources from our repository to
yours.

Both sundials and glpk-shlib packages are in good shape.
