[Pkg-octave-devel] Proposal: nuke most of the Octave packaging

[Thomas Weber]

Hi, 

I've pushed my current state to 
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/tweber/octave.git
Please do not read too much into the specific patches; I started without
a VCS and just broke the current state into different commits.

In the end, once we have a working state, we need to copy that onto the
existing Octave repository.

That bug is not relevant anymore, the MIPS build contains debug symbols
for some time again.

No, in fact I started from scratch myself.
