Hi Davide, |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Thanks much for your inquiry since it provides me with |
| 16 |
an opportunity to send out an email regarding the status |
| 17 |
of octave/octave-forge to all of you. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
The new octave is currently available at the science overlay [1]. |
| 20 |
Somewhat unfortunately, octave and octave-forge are tied together |
| 21 |
pretty closely so we have always tried to keep both in sync, |
| 22 |
particularly since octave-forge is used by many octave users. |
| 23 |
With octave 2.9.x the previously monolithic octave-forge package |
| 24 |
has switched to a new "split-package" distribution system which |
| 25 |
required a complete rework of our octave-forge ebuilds; most of |
| 26 |
the work is now handled by a newly designed octave-forge eclass. |
| 27 |
Please check out [2] and [3] for more details. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I am planning to move all packages belonging to the new |
| 30 |
octave/octave-forge infrastructure which are currently |
| 31 |
located at [4] to the science overlay over the weekend. |
| 32 |
Particularly the octave-forge eclass needs a little more |
| 33 |
testing to iron out bugs. If nothing major crops up we can probably |
| 34 |
move everything to the main portage tree in the near future. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
cheers, |
| 37 |
