[Pkg-octave-devel] Developer team + SVN + infrastructure

[Rafael Laboissiere]

The developer team of the pkg-octave project @ Alioth is composed now by the
following people:

    Dirk Eddelbuettel 
    Isaac Clerencia   
    J. Rafael Rodriguez Galvan
    Rafael Laboissiere
       
Any person lurking here who is interested in joining us, please drop me a
note.

As regards the Version Control repository for doing common development of
packages at Alioth: I recently switched from CVS to Subversion for all my
private projects.  I must say that it is like going from hell to heaven.
Besides that, svn commands are pretty similar to cvs ones, so that the
transition is really not painful.  If nobody objects, I will create a SVN
repository for the pkg-octave project.

I hope to have all the Octave-related Debian packages hosted at Alioth.
They are (source packages):

    octave2.0
    octave2.1
    octave-epstk
    octave-forge
    octave-gpc
    octaviz
    statdataml

[N. B.: octave-plplot (source package: plplot) is already hosted elsewhere
(plplot.sf.net).]

The next step will be to build a common infrastructure for package building,
similar to what Dirk did for the R packages.
