Hi Alexander, I've put another draft in experimental/jfmertens/main/finkinfo/sci. Since it seems not clear that monolithic versions will continue to be available, this one uses octave's own pkg management system to build a single fink pkg from the latest bundle _ ie, targeted towards octave-2.9.12, the one in fink. It is slow _ (layers of pkg management systems _ they eat all your CPU cycles !) _, it can possibly be improved by fetching instead a tarball from their cvs repositiry _ that one would have at least a top-level makefile; a top-level configure cache would also improve things... But it seems workable, and +/- "legal" Jean-Francois ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
