[Pkg-octave-devel] Packaging octave-forge 2006-03-17

[Rafael Laboissiere]

There is a new version (2006-03.17) of octave-forge available.  Could
someone try to build the Debian package for it and commit the changes to
SVN?  Now that the netcdf transition is over and 2006-01-28-2 finally
entered testing, it is a good time for a new upload.

In particular, we should check whether the following debian/patches
are still needed:

    50_extra-pdb-sinclude
    50_main-set-makefile
    50_make-clean
    50_makefile-syntax-fix
    50_make-pattern-rules

Also, we should try to close the following bug reports:

    #357651: FTBFS with G++ 4.1: misc errors
    #295395: octave-forge: Replacing a submatrix of a sparse matrix

The following one is not going to be closed any soon, but I hope that
Colin will resume the dual 2.1/2.9 build in the near future:

    #352150: octave-forge: depends on octave2.1, could it also depend on 2.9?

Thanks,
