[Plplot-general] Debian packages for PLplot 5.0.2 available

[Rafael L. <ra...@ic...>]

Debian packages for the latest stable release of PLplot (5.0.2) are
available.

The packages work for the Debian "potato" distribution (2.2).  They are
available in both the Debian unstable repository and the apt-getable
location in the PLplot web site. 

To upgrade your packages, just add the following lines to your
/etc/apt/sources.list:
                      
    deb http://plplot.sourceforge.net/resources/debian ./
    deb-src http://plplot.sourceforge.net/resources/debian ./

then run "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" (or "apt-get dist-upgrade"
if you are upgrading from the 4.99j packages).

There are many improvements from version 5.0.1 to 5.0.2, see the
announcement at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/plplot. The plplot-doc
package contains the full documentation that is now managed with DocBook.
You will find there the PLplot manual in the following formats: html, pdf,
ps, and info.  The html on-line manual is registered with doc-base, so you
can easily access it by pointing your browser at http://localhost/dc
(supposing that doc-central is installed) and going to section Apps/Math.

Also, the plplot-dev package contains man pages for all the PLplot functions
in the public API.

As usual, report any bugs using the Debian BTS (Bug Tracking System,
http://bugs.debian.org), the more convinient way beeing through the command
reportbug (available in the Debian package with the same name).

Debianly yours,
