I'd like to add a new package to the repository and hereby ask for SVN

The package shall implement the upcoming IEEE 1788 standard on interval
arithmetic. I am a member of the P1788 working group and the standard
currently enters the sponsor ballot phase.

My GNU octave package is in an early stage atm, but I could already
submit some functionality to the public repository under GPL.

The following is a screenshot that shows some of the already implemented
functionality.

Hi,

This sounds interesting. However we do not use svn anymore, we now use mercurial repositories. I guess we would like to peek into your code before adding it and we would also like to know whether you commit yourself as a maintainer of this package.

However the last word comes from our benevolent ruler Carnë, so wait for his answer....
