Hopefully, this will be a temporary situation, until we fix the problem with the octave2.9-forge package. Debian 4.0 (a.k.a. etch) was recently released and contains 2.9.9. Even if 2.9.10 entered testing, it is too late now for the regular Debian users who are using the stable distribution. We are discussing about back porting 2.9.10 (and probably also the new octave-forge packages) for etch. -- Rafael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
