Subject: Octave status update

- octave-3.4.0-5.fc15 has been submitted:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/octave-3.4.0-5.fc15

This contains the latest macros and moves package to %{_libdir}/octave from
%{_libexecdir}/octave.  Please test.

- New octave packaging guidelines have been ratified.  Announcement should
come soon.

https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/61

- I've made an oct2spec packaging script, package submission is here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692257

It should be basically working.  Thanks to José Abílio for helping here.

- I've put a list of octave forge packages here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OrionPoplawski/Octave_Packages

Perhaps people can sign up there for what packages they want to own.  We're
going to need to make and review a bunch of packages.

- I would also like to see 3.4.0 in EPEL 6, but will wait until we are
comfortable with it in F15.
