All, I am putting together octave-forge as a companion package for octave, which will require octave. Comments requested.
This companion package will have to be updated whenever octave is, as it uses the octave abi, which is not stable. octave-forge is in Debian, which also has a separate octave-ci package. I am combining the packages in this proposal. setup.hint: sdesc: "Contributed functions for GNU Octave from http://octave.sourceforge.net"; ldesc: "Contributed functions for GNU Octave from http://octave.sourceforge.net The octave-forge project contains over 500 contributed functions for GNU Octave which are not in the main distribution. These functions are grouped according to the following subdirectories: audio, comm, control, general, geometry, ident, image, io, linear-algebra, miscellaneous, optim, path, plot, set, signal, sparse, specfun, special-matrix, splines, statistics, strings, struct, symbolic, time. The Cygwin distribution of octave-forge also incorporates m-files from the octave-ci collection at ftp://ftp.ci.tuwien.ac.at/pub/octave/octave-ci.tar.gz"; category: math requires: octave
