I think we are in good shape now.  There are only three Octave-releated
packages that are not on alioth:

    * octave2.0
    * octave-matcompat

I think that these two will be dropped from Debian after sarge is out.
Right? 

    * octave-plplot

This one is from the plplot source package.  PLplot is a complex piece of
software and the Octave bindings in octave-plplot is just a small part of
it.  The Debian files are already been maintained by myself elsewhere
(plplot.sf.net). I do not think that is its appropriate to move them to
Alioth.

Now that everything is in place at the SVN repository, I hope that people
will start playing with the packages.  I read in the octave-maintainers
mailing list three days ago that John W. Eaton is planning to release 2.1.65
soon.  After this release, the following packages will need to be rebuilt:

    octave2.1
    octave-forge
    octave-gpc
    octaviz
    semidef-oct
    statdataml

Feel free to pick anyone for playing, but please drop a note here about your
intentions before.
