R was just updated upstream
Octave is in Release Candidate state
ngspice should be updated upstream shortly

I will update accordingly, later on. I am currently travelling.

Yue is working on singular, but on top of his short time
out of University requirements, he need to pack
other 5 new math libs. I am helping him on the matter.

I will look on lylipond after guile.
I built latest guile but make check fails on some modules,
and I need to investigate.
