[Pkg-octave-devel] Freeze ?

Since we have ported all our packages to Octave 3.6, I suggest to enter
a 10-day freeze period, during which we refrain from any upload. Since
our last package was uploaded yesterday, the freeze would end on Sunday
April 15th. If by that date no new RC bug has been opened and none of
the few remaining builds has failed, we could close the dummy RC bug
against Octave and have all our packages migrate to testing at the same
time.

I prefer not to wait for our reverse dependencies because 1) having our
packages in testing will increase the incentives for our rdeps to port
their package and 2) if we wait we will penalize those maintainers that
have already done the porting work (since they will have to wait for the MIA
maintainers before having their packages migrate to testing).
