First of all, sorry if I've offended somebody. That wasn't my intention. My intention was only to show the current state of octave in gentoo.

However, I also find annoying that people assumes that I haven't read the documentation or made an effort to fix the problems.

Anyway, I find more time-consuming to log in in a github account to propose some changes and wait them to be approved than to update an ebuild of fill a bug. Not to mention thta when I try to update de g-octave database, I get this message: '"--sync" not available, please install g-octave-9999 if you want this.', and I'm forced to install a masked version of a package that, as the docs says, is not recommended to use. Not to mention that I also have real life problems and I don't have time to mess with this things.

Thanks for the update of the status, though.

Cheers,
