[Requests] - many, relating to octave, html etc

Hello there,

I've a few packages I'd like to request. Very happy to see octave on the list, and would enjoy using it even more if it had:

koctave as a pacman package
the octave-forge libraries available (for symbolic maths etc)

Similarly, nice to see Lyx on the list (particularly the qt-version). I'd like pacman for something for edting bibtex references (such as gbib)

In addition to this, whilst quanta looks very nice, I'd like something that allows wysiwyg editing. I've read that the most recent versions of it do, so that'd be lovely.

Thanks,

gwilstrum

PKGBUILD:

pkgname=koctave3
pkgver=0.65
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A KDE GUI for octave"
url="http://bubben.homelinux.net/~matti/koctave/"
license="GPL"
depends=('kdelibs' 'x-server' 'gnuplot' 'octave')
makedepends=('qt' 'kdelibs')
source=(http://bubben.homelinux.net/~matti/koctave/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
md5sums=('f094f30ed2ec150bb6ae95676b2647e0')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
}

Similarly, nice to see Lyx on the list (particularly the qt-version). I'd like pacman for something for edting bibtex references (such as gbib)

The sources from the gbib home page can't be uncompressed with gzip.

In addition to this, whilst quanta looks very nice, I'd like something that allows wysiwyg editing. I've read that the most recent versions of it do, so that'd be lovely.

quanta is in the kdewebdev package.  Flag the package out of date or, better, tell  the maintainer that there is a newer version of quanta.

if you have problems building this package, make sure you are pacman -Syu

Re: [Requests] - many, relating to octave, html etc

I have retested the above PKGBUILD and it builds without any problem. I am using

qt 3.3.3-3
kdelibs 3.3.0-3
gcc 3.4.2-1

Maybe you'll need to update qt and/or kdelibs

===>  /opt/kde/lib/libkparts.so needs to be rebuilt against newest gcc/glibc ... and this is already done with the newest kde (3.3.0 and 3.3.1)

Re: [Requests] - many, relating to octave, html etc

Thanks for the build snowman - it worked for me (after a brief delay in which I tried debian, but have now come back to arch), and the kdewebdev package came up to date as well, so I'm all set (for the moment ;-) ).
