Our priority should be to release ADMB in standard package formats:
Debian, Gentoo, RPM, and Mac.
This will make ADMB much more visible and accessible for scientists in all
disciplines. Package repositories are categorized, so ADMB would be listed
on autogenerated lists of scientific and statistical software for Linux,
for example. These lists are copied to Wikipedia, blogs, newsletters, etc.
Packaging means adapting the build procedure to Linux standards (we may be
there already), writing a short man page, and filling out a basic template
file for each package format. Please consider participating in the ongoing
effort:
