| 
|     * octave2.0
|     * octave-matcompat

Yup. There is also octave-ci, and I intend to file a 'please remove' bug
against ftp.debian.org as well once sarge is out.

The rest sounds cool. Thanks for all your work in getting my Octave packages
refreshed.

|     * 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.
