[Bug 1046134] [NEW] FFe: Sync octave 3.6.2-5 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Please sync octave 3.6.2-5 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:

This update allows coinstallation of any libhdf5-dev variant with the
liboctave-dev package and patches mkoctfile to work with any of them.
This will allow users to install, for example, gmsh and liboctave-dev
without conflicts. See discussion thread
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-octave-devel/2012-August/009582.html.

As you can see in the debdiff, the changes are only to the control file
and the mkoctfile shell script. The package is still built against
libhdf5-dev, no changes have been made to compilation rules or binary
compatibility.

Changelog entries since current quantal version 3.6.2-4:

octave (3.6.2-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Make liboctave-dev coinstallable again with all HDF5 variants
    + Now depends on libhdf5-dev | libhdf5-openmpi-dev | libhdf5-mpich2-dev
    + mkoctfile-mpi.diff: patch reintroduced back; includes MPI headers when
      compiling with mkoctfile (see #598227)
