I just volunteered to do a dumb user install of this for Doug (I am not
at all familiar with Scilab / Xcos).
Getting Scilab set up was not too difficult. It's worth noting that
installing the Backdoor module did something to the Scilab environment
that prevented me from loading a zcos file from the command line:
scilab -f foo.zcos
just opened Scilab with a "Graphic window number 0" and no Xcos window.
Installing the sci_cosim package in Octave prints this message:
>> pkg install sci_cosim_0.1.2.tar.gz
skipping line
>>
and the normal "news" message is missing, so it looked to me like
package installation failed when in fact it was successful. This would
be nice to fix. I think it's because of the line after "Description:".
If that's part of Description, I think it should be one long line.
Also note that "Autoload: yes" is now discouraged.
Looking at the contents of sci_cosim_0.1.2.tar.gz, it contains m-files
inside a src directory, this looks wrong to me, should be inst rather
than src.
Hope this helps you improve your package and installation notes.
