I did a last review on the octave-forge packages by building them with
octave-pkg-dev 0.5.3. I think that most of them are in pretty good shape,
but there are some issues left:
1) octave-parallel FTBFS
2) octave-special-matrix will be put on hold. As Thomas pointed out, this
package is an overkill.
3) The debian/copyright must be extensively reviewed, in order to meet the
Debian standards. Perhaps we could switch to the new proposed format [1]?
4) The packages contain huge ChangeLog files in the installed directory
/usr/share/octave/packages/<pkg>-<ver>/packinfo/. I think this should be
deleted, since it is already installed in /usr/share/doc.
5) There are documentation files in the doc/ directories (mainly pdf
files) that should also go into /usr/share/doc.
If there are no objections, I will change octave-pkg-dev to implement items
4 and 5 above.
