Welcome to the g-Octave project page
What is GNU Octave?
GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with Matlab. It may also be used as a batch-oriented language.
What is Octave Forge?
Octave-Forge is a central location for the collaborative development of packages for GNU Octave. The Octave-Forge packages contains the source for all the functions and are designed to work with the GNU Octave package system.
What is g-Octave
g-Octave is a tool that generates and installs ebuilds for Octave-Forge packages "on-the-fly" to Gentoo Linux, using Portage. It's capable to generate ebuilds and Manifest files for the packages, and to install them using an autogenerated overlay (named g-octave). g-Octave can also handle patches to the packages automatically. The command line interface tries to be very similar to the interface of the emerge tool.
At this moment g-Octave depends on the Portage package manager to works, but can also use Paludis and pkgcore to install/uninstall the packages.
