Unfortunately, the existing packages: http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/noweb/noweb_2.11b-8_i386.deb or http://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/noweb/nowebm-2.11a-2.i386.rpm are not compatible with ALTLinux: -- due to "tempfile" https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30595 , https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30594 -- .deb not recognized by our "alien" "noweb" is needed to compile sources written with it. For example, the current development version of Muenster Curry Compiler: http://danae.uni-muenster.de/~lux/curry/ , http://danae.uni-muenster.de/~lux/curry/darcs/curry . Some searches through ALT Linux data also give the following occurences: http://www.google.com/cse?cx=014412136813254060649%3Am2__wfh9ajy&q=notangle&sa=Search&siteurl=search.altlinux.org%2F&ref=&ss=4120j2061658j16#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=%22noweave%22 * lyx http://www.google.com/cse?cx=014412136813254060649%3Am2__wfh9ajy&q=notangle&sa=Search&siteurl=search.altlinux.org%2F&ref=&ss=4120j2061658j16#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=%22noweb%22 * lyx * geda (outdated) * cweb -- is there a cweb package that provides noweb? Probably, not in current Sisyphus. * http://www.sisyphus.ru/ru/srpm/Sisyphus/open-axiom/spec used to use an internal copy of noweb -- http://git.altlinux.org/people/real/packages/?p=open-axiom.git;a=commitdiff;h=8ed24305a0c4d687c6810aedec6216950778c3e7 (now they use some "hammer". Perhaps, hammer is substitute for "noweb"?)
As for openaxiom, they now use their own implementation of "noweb" -- http://git.altlinux.org/people/real/packages/?p=open-axiom.git;a=blob;f=src/utils/hammer.cc;h=17c5cc736aef635a6d82b09764a59091a11a4ca8;hb=8ed24305a0c4d687c6810aedec6216950778c3e7 : // -- This program implements basic functionalities for untangling // -- algebra source code from the pamphlets. The syntax is that // -- of `noweb'. A chunk definition starts with a pattern // -- <<name>>= on a line by itself, and ends with `@' by itself // -- on a line. A chunk can refer to another chunk through // -- a pattern of the form `<<name>>'.
