1 Hi,
2
3 Bug #179885 [1] is the tracker for the octave forge split ebuilds. I
4 attached to it some ebuilds, nearly all of the remaining packages, but
5 nobody seems to care, despite being a blocker for gcc-4.3 stabilization
6 and with an ancient octave-forge in portage that doesn't work with the
7 non-ancient octave-3*.
8
9 Pinging markusle aside, there are a lot of forge packages that shouldn't
10 monopolize the sci-mathematics category, so something must be made.
11 Possible solutions:
12
13 1.- Do nothing, thats not a problem.
14 2.- Create a new category à la dev-texlive, something like sci-octave.
15 3.- Create a g-cpan-like program for this, preferably faster than the
16 unexistent cran one.

18 My vote is for option 2. Comments?
