I have been playing with all of this for afew days on both Intel and
PPC, with Mac OS X 10.4.11

About octave-forge : there should be a build-depend on libssh2 or
libssh2.1, as it is required for building package octcdf.

What I have tested:

Set 1:
octave           2.9.17-1
octave-forge     20071014-2
(always built with g95)

Set 2:
octave                2.9.17-2
octave-forge          20071014-4
(built with g95 or gfortran depending on what is installed)

Set 1 works on both Intel and PPC, and is what people should use for now
on Mac OS X 10.4.

For Set 2, if octave is built WITHOUT gfortran (i.e. if it is not
installed, even with ConfigureParams: --with-f77=%p/bin/gfortran, but
g95 is installed), then everything is fine, BUT building octave-forge
writes directly in /sw/share /octave, wich is not good, as the .deb does
not contain anything actually, so it is better to stay with rev. 2 of
this package.
Now if gfortran is installed, octave compiles fine, but I get a
seg-fault when building octave-forge on Intel, I did not try on PPC,
maybe next week.
