Contributor - Improve ATOMS system
Description
ATOMS is the packaging system of Scilab. It is available since Scilab 5.2.0 and more and more modules are available through this system. This allows the quick installation of Scilab modules (extensions) in just a few commands.
The goal of this project would be to improve the way modules are locally handled. For now, it is just done by basic system calls to the command wget (to retrieve files) and tar/zip (to unpack them).
This project will consist in the development of two keys components:
Contributor - Remote file access - Provide into Scilab remote file access (ie, the capabilities to download/upload information from web components)
Contributor - compression module - Provide compression / decompression capabilities
These two modules will be generic and used by Scilab in ATOMS to simplify and cleanup the current process. The last step of the project will be to update the current ATOMS code to use these features.
The work can take all the advantages offered by the Swig/Scilab application.
