Did you see these already? http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-octave/octave-pkg-dev.git;a=tree;h=c93c63e13b6d75feabd5e11329474f5e06439625;hb=c93c63e13b6d75feabd5e11329474f5e06439625 I'm not sure how easily could you turn that into a .spec files... But the overall structure of a Makefile with targets and is similar to the targets of a .spec. It doesn't address your concerns about end users mixing Octave's pkg function and the system package manager, though. On Debian, if I call pkg uninstall on a Debian-installed 'Forge package, pkg reports that the package I want to uninstall isn't installed. This seems sort of ok to me. HTH, - Jordi G.
