The only thing I really really want to see fixed before 3.0 is that at

time if I get a patch together for pkg.m that Orion is happy with? If so
I'd put off an octave-forge release for 2.9.14 to get pkg right and
release octave-forge based on 2.9.15.
I agree very much with these thoughts! I consider the package manager
broken if no distributors picks it up...
I agree -- this is the key issue which should be solved before 3.0 --
it is very telling that fedora core's last rpm is from 2.9.9 (I think)
It just tells that Quention doesn't have much time (which I think he
said on the list).
-- It would be a shame to release a major release which would not be
distributed in the major distributions.
Most distributions have more or less up-to-date versions of Octave in
their development branches.
