Re: package contribution

[Wang S]

Dear Carlo,

Thank you very much for your reply. 
Yes, I know mercurial.
currently I only know basic usage of svn, git and mercurial, though I have used 
Octave for several years. I'm continuing learning the version-control tools.

I developed this package because my work need it but I could not find an 
existing Octave package on electromagnetic circuit/field simulation that fits 
my work.
What is the EMF Octave package name developed by Sebastian? If it can satisfy 
my work as well, I'll use it :)

Best regards,
Wang S

Wang, 

Thank you very much for proposing this contribution, 
the subdivision into extra/ and main/ subdirs is not
very much relevant anymore though, and I guess Carn 
will suggest that you use mercurial instead of subversion
for this new package. 

Is this a problem for you? Do you know mercurial?


Sebastian,

As you know about both OF packages and EMF simulations,
maybe you could help reviewing Wang's code? I know you
have your own EMF package, do you think the two could 
be merged somehow?
