[MOTU Work] Octave3.0 Transition

[Stephan Hermann]

Dear Colleagues,

Debian has in SID the new octave3.0 version handy.
For this to have in hardy, I'm preparing the octave2.9 to octave3.0
transition.

As you can read on
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=457675 octave packages
< 3.0 will go away soon.

And for Hardy I think it will be a good sign to our Users and Customers
ot provide a long awaited stable version for octave (means 3.0).


After finishing the packages mentioned below and in the resulting bug
report, I'll confirm the sync req again for octave 3.0 and file two
removal requests for octave2.1 and octave2.9


Regarding the comments on:

	https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/octave2.9/+bug/178424
	https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/octave3.0/+bug/185653

Some of the packages are just building without problems. Some others
(like e.g. pfstools are in need of some patches, which are on the
debian bts or you have to find out a solution by yourself). I prepared
most of the packages on my local harddrive, so after octave3.0 hits the
archive I'll upload or request a sync.

I'll file a bug report about the transition and add all packages which
are affected to it. 			
Furthermore I'll add debdiffs to the resulting package bugs.

There are some other packages which are binary depending on
octave <insert version here>, which are in need of an updated
debian/control file. I'll add them to the list, too, hopefully with a
debdiff or sync request attached.


Any Questions? Please ping me on freenode (\sh) or reply to this mail. 

Regards,

\sh
