[Pkg-octave-devel] Building Octave-Forge with octave-2.9.4

[Colin Ingram]

[sorry for the noise in the mailling list...my previous msg had my CC
as the subject and the subject was....well I don't know where it went]

I started working on the 2.9 transition again.  Octave-Forge fails to
build on my system.  I attemted to build with these changes to
debian/rules

It looks like there is a problem with fixedNDArray (full log at
