package maintenance

Hi all,

In preparing for a lush2 release I want to go
through all the packages and make sure they work,
at least on linux. I know that most won't work right
now because there have been lots of changes in the
language. But which ones need updating and which
ones do we want to get rid of because they are
obsolete?

Below is the current list of package directories and
a little note from me next to it:
"ok" means works on linux afaik,
"dump" means I think it's not worth keeping,
"upd" means it needs updating, and
"?" means probably does not work and I am not sure
     what to do with it.

alsa          ?
audio         ok 
audiofile     ?
blas          ok   (*)
cblas         dump
devices       ?
ffmpeg        upd
fftw          upd
gblearn2      ?
gblearning    ?
gnuplot       ok
gsl           ?
inventor      upd
jpeg          upd
lapack        ok   (*)
libnum        ok
libsvm        upd
mpi           ?
music         ?
opencv        dump
opencv2       ok
opengl        upd
optim         ok
sdl           upd
sdlgames      upd
sn28          upd
svm           upd
torch         dump
video         upd
video4linux   upd


(*) These are not the same packages as in lush1, I
started rewriting those.

Yann, please fill in the ?s and let me know if you
want to change anything else. I removed the HTK package
a while ago as it looks like that software is now
closed source and must be purchased.

Ralf


PS: We should set up a wiki to keep track of these
things...
