I don't know what to make of the build logs at: http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/logs/fedora-development-extras/6430-octave-2.9.4-8.fc5/ppc/ build.log is empty, job.log says: Job failed due to build errors! Please see build logs. and root.log ends with: Total download size: 74 M Cleaning up... Done. So, what just happened?
