Here is an update on the porting of the Octave-Forge packages for Debian. Just as a reminder, we are porting the packages in order to make them work with Octave 3.6. Our goal is to have a reasonable suite of ported packages before the freeze of the wheezy distribution, which will happen in June 2012.
I am writing mainly because we need more feedback from the developers and users of the OF packages in order to better organize our work. Please, comment on the points below. The following packages have been removed from Debian for different reasons (buggy, integrated into 3.6, unmaintained or abandonned upstream, etc.). If you heartedly disagree with some removals, please tell us. ann bioinfo ftp integration irsa nlwing2 outliers physicalconstants symband xraylib The following packages are already in Debian and worked correctly with Octave 3.2, but have not yet been ported to Octave 3.6. We need to know two things: first, which ones of those must absolutely be ported. Second, which ones of those should be removed from Debian. audio benchmark combinatorics financial fixed fpl ga ident informationtheory mapping multicore nnet nurbs optiminterp ocs octcdf octgpr parallel pdb simp sockets tsa vrml The following packages have never been in Debian.
