[Pkg-octave-devel] Open ToDos for Wheezy

[Paul Dreik]

I know there was a discussion a while ago about which packages were
popular/good enough/releaseable to be in wheezy, and octave sockets was
not one of them. Is there any chance the sockets package can make it?

I am running Debian testing with 3.6.2 and installation with
pkg -forge install sockets
ran without problems and the package works as expected (running the
example code I posted at
http://pauldreik.blogspot.se/2009/04/octave-sockets-example.html). The
source seems to not need modifications for being packaged, the "only"
work is to package it and of course maintain it which I respect if it is
not your top priority compared to octave itself or other packages.

The reason I prefer seeing it debian packaged rather than installing it
manually is that I think installing through a package manager is
superior to manual install. It is signed by the debian archive key and
possible to have as a dependency for other packages. (I have private
packages which depend on sockets)
