Update Information:

Workaround broken 'ann' and 'java' packages by disabling autoloading. This
should fix problems with crashes when running "clear -all" and other commands,
as well as when quitting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:

* Mon Jul  5 2010 Alex Lancaster <alexlan[AT]fedoraproject org> - 20090607-17
- Update java patch to disable autoloading of java package
  currently this package leads to crashing on exit (#562276)
* Sat Jun 19 2010 Alex Lancaster <alexlan[AT]fedoraproject org> - 20090607-16
- Adapt two patches from Debian to disable autoloading of 'ann' package:
  http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/octave-ann/1.0.2+dfsg-2/warn-clear-all-at-init.diff
  http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/octave-ann/1.0.2+dfsg-2/autoload-no.diff
  'ann' currently causes crashes even if not being used.
  Should workaround #562276 until upstream fixes the 'ann' package
  properly.
