Hi Søren, By "these packages" do you mean the specific packages that contain SWIG-generated code, or the entire bundle of octave-forge? If the latter, that's not possible because octave 3.2 is already in rawhide and is unlikely to be downgraded to 3.0. I assume that at least the core/main parts of octave-forge have been tested/ported to work with octave 3.2. Also, would most of the packages in the recent bundle even build/work against the old octave 3.0? If you mean removing the specific packages from the bundle that fail to build because of because they haven't been updated to use the new SWIG, then that would be possible if there aren't too many of them. At least we could remove the temporarily until they have been fixed properly. Do you have (or could you easily generate) a list of such packages? At the moment, obviously we have 'ann' and 'ftp'. Are these really critical packages in any case? AFAIK I've never used any functions from them directly, but perhaps some of them have dependencies on other packages.
