FC provides Octave. However, it doesn't provide Octave Forge, which
includes several utilities and other enhancements to Octave. Octave
Forge is released in a version parallel to each release of Octave.
The Octave Forge release equivalent to the version of Octave provided in
FC3 is only available as a tgz file. An rpm spec is provided in the
file, but there are no instructions how to do the packaging.
I suggest that future releases of FC should include Octave Forge as well
as Octave.
However, in the interim, can anyone provide a simple explanation of how
to use the rpm spec provided in the Octave Forge release to produce a
compatible FC3 rpm for Octave Forge?
