Hi folks,
is there anyone willing to relaunch the package inline-octave that was
last included in lenny which is now oldstable. The Perl module is only
one file and there is a current update available at
http://search.cpan.org/~aadler/Inline-Octave/ .
Thanks in advance for your support and maintainership,
Thomas Uhle
