Some more information: ITA: : #357679 Package name : yorick Version : 2.1.01cvs20060524 (upstream 2.1.02 in development) Upstream Author : David H. Munro URL : http://yorick.sourceforge.net License : BSD Description : interpreted language and scientific graphics Yorick is an interpreted programming language for: * scientific simulations or calculations * postprocessing or steering large simulation codes * interactive scientific graphics * reading, writing, and translating large files of numbers . The language features a compact syntax for many common array operations, so it processes large arrays of numbers very quickly and efficiently. Superficially, yorick code resembles C code, but yorick variables are never explicitly declared and have a dynamic scoping similar to many Lisp dialects. The yorick language is designed to be typed interactively at a keyboard, as well as stored in files for later use. . This package includes an emacs-based development environment, which you can launch by typing M-x yorick in emacs.
The version in the archive (1.5.14) is obsolete (see #333074, 227 day old). The former maintainer (who is also the upstream author) has lost his upload privileges (lapsed key), so I need a sponsor. The new version has very interesting new features, in particular the ability to load plug-ins. I have completely revamped the package, and work with upstream to make Yorick's internal package management system integrate well in Debian. This upload will close 5 bugs (+ the ITA). The two remaining bugs are very old, I will close one as "fixed since long" and the other as "won't fix" as soon as I become the official maintainer with this upload.
