What's up with octave-forge? - HELP WANTED

[Orion Poplawski]

I'm currently building a new octave and octave-forge that should give us 
a working octave and octave packages for F8.  The octave-forge package 
ships Provides for all of the individual packages  in an attempt to make 
upgrading from octave-forge to the octave-packages work.  If anyone 
forsees any problems with this strategy, please let me know.   One 
concern is if we end up shipping fewer packages in F-9 than the current 
octave-forge package provides.

Where do we go from here (post-F8)?  Well, we need to start packaging 
all of the individual octave-forge provided packages individually. 
Currently there are 60 of them.  I have an initial packaging draft here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Octave

that should be used when producing these packages.  We'll modify it as 
needed as issues arise, then once it seems good put it up for official 
status.

So, everyone out there who uses octave, pick a few packages that they 
use or like and submit them for review!
