Tomorrow I will announce the release, which will be then available from the usual http://quantlib.org/download.html page Mark: anything I should write and/or link to for the fink package? thank you everybody ciao -- Nando |

If we list / ship the binary rpms, should we ship debs too? You'll find them at http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/quantlib/ http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/quantlib-python/ http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/quantlib-refman/ http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/quantlib-refman-html/ http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/quantlib-ruby/ and you could link directly to the i386 (or all) packages, as well as these directories for the other binaries. URLs also work as http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/quantlib/ http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/quantlib/ http://ftp.es.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/quantlib/ http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/quantlib/ http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/quantlib/ [...] Nando, Luigi: Any word on my problem with the barrier option? I had the same problem last night with plain American options as soon as I tried any of the Greeks. I must be doing something wrong, but still, it shouldn't seg.fault, should it?

The Debian text, as it currently stand on the page, is plain WRONG as it refers to the testing distribution containing 0.3.4 -- as opposed to the unstable distribution containing 0.3.5.

Hi Dirk
>If we list / ship the binary rpms, should we ship debs too? I wouldn't ship QuantLib binaries, QuantLib developers are supposed to be able to build QuantLib (and hopefully able to build and run the associated test-suite) I would ship QuantLib-Python, QuantLib-Ruby, etc binaries, since users of those packages are not required to build them. This is what should be available on quantlib.org/nextrelease.html Is it OK? ciao -- Nando |

Hi Dirk

Anyway if you write those few lines about Debian I would use them to replace the current description before announcing 0.3.5 tomorrow. Thank you for your help ciao -- Nando |

Sorry for mixing lingo. that really was not clear. That said, I think my point still applies. Either we ship 'source only' (with a possible exception for win, and maybe os x), or we ship source as well as prebuilt. As you seem to have opted for choice two, I personally would find it natural to give Debian the same shelf space as you allocated to RH/FC.

Once its in a good text to write would be along the lines of: "Fink packages are available in the 10.3/unstable tree. Just run 'fink install quantlib' to install. To enable the unstable tree, please read the <a href=http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#unstable>Fink faq</a>." I'll let you know once the main library is available. Python and Ruby packages will follow but I'm diagnosing some build issues with these. I'll keep you posted. Mark. |

Dirk, I removed the download link as it's easier to go through apt-get (or dpkg, or synaptic...) How about: Debian users can find the "quantlib" package in the "unstable" distribution. to be changed to "testing" when the packages enter Sarge? Later, Luigi |

Dirk, from the download page, I gather we're actually going for choice one: the quantlib rpm is a packaging of the sources (don't ask me what use that is--I don't know) As for shelf space, we're shipping rpms only because RH users (poor souls) don't have a central package repository. Personally, as a Debian user, I'd rather use apt-get than downloading and installing a .deb manually---especially in the future, as dependencies on the Boost packages will arise. The same applies to Mac OS X: as soon as the packages are ready, an entry will appear which says "Fink packages are available in the 10.3/unstable tree." Anyway: I modified the download page. May you check it out? Later, Luigi |

Better. But how about something like this so that people don't trip over the previous release in testing: Debian users can find version 0.3.5 of the different quantlib packages in the "unstable" (aka "sid") distribution. The previous release, 0.3.4, is still in the "testing" (aka "sarge") distribution, but should be replace by 0.3.5 in a few days.

The quantlib package is now available from fink. I was actually thinking it my head that mentioning the debian and fink packages separate from the files is the way to go but I see that's what you thought as well. Could I suggest changing the text for fink to instead read: "For Mac OS X users, Fink packages are available in the "current-10.3/unstable" tree. For a list of available QuantLib related files see the <a href =http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/search.php?s=quantlib>Package Database</a>. To enable the "unstable" tree, please read the <a href=http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#unstable>Fink faq</a>. Be sure to run 'fink selfupdate' to obtain the latest package definitions, and then run 'fink install quantlib' to install the main library." Thanks.. Mark. |
