[Pkg-octave-devel] Collaborative effort for the migration to Octave 3.6

[Sébastien Villemot]

Hi,

Since several people on the list have expressed their interest in
helping for the transition to Octave 3.6, I have created a section on
our wiki page [1] to facilitate the coordination of the collaborative
work.

As there are many small packages to be modified, the idea is to split
packages across people.

If you want to help, add your name at some place(s) in the last column
next to your favorite 'Forge package(s), and start hacking.

For an upload to unstable, you will have to wait for Octave 3.6.1 and
octave-pkg-dev >= 0.7.5 being uploaded there (this should happen
soon). An upload to experimental is already possible: it has Octave
3.4.3, which does not differ much from Octave 3.6.1, except for a
SOVERSION bump (liboctave0 => liboctave1).

Also, in order to get write access to the git repositories, you need to
create an account on Alioth and then ask Thomas to be added to our
project there [2].

Best,
