Jaroslav,

I see RC2 does not include the patch I proposed for pkg.m:

http://www.nabble.com/-Changeset--Let-%22pkg-describe%22-return-version-of-the-packages-td23692416.html

I understand that probably we are in feature-freeze stage before the  
release, but I'd still like to try to push for the inclusion of this  
change ;)

This is needed for the new octave-forge package release system, and  
given the current rate of octave releases if we need to wait for 3.4  
before we can put that system in place that might mean a long time.
Plus the change is so trivial I really doubt it could generate any  
regressions.

So do you think it would still be possible to apply that changeset?
Thanks,
c.
