Hello,I know several of you are compiling Octave Workshop on various OS's. I would really like it if those of you who know how to make rpms (and debs and so on) contacted me. I would like you to put these binary packages on the sourceforge web page.
I maintain octave, octave-forge and several related dependencies for Fedora Extras, so I have plenty of experience with rpm. It wouldn't be much trouble to create a spec file for octave-workshop, but my only concern is the dependency on Qt 4. It is not yet included in most of the Linux distributions, and I have no interest in maintaining Qt 4 just for the benefit of octave-workshop. How much does Workshop depend on Qt 4? Could it be backported to 3.x? Updating to version 4 could be a long way off for the more conservative distributions such as Debian.
