octave2.1 (1:2.1.73-13) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/rules, debian/in/PACKAGE-emacsen.{postinst,prerm}: Renamed

     (closes: #394789).
   * debian/patches/50_rename-octave-tags.dpatch: Added patch for renaming
     otags to be octave-tags in the upstream files.  These changes have been

octave2.1 (1:2.1.73-12) unstable; urgency=low

   * Rebuilt with gnuplot-nox build-dependency instead of gnuplot, in order
     to make some autobuilders happier

 -- Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@debian.org>  Sat, 7 Oct 2006 12:40:54 +0200

octave2.9 (2.9.9-2) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Thomas Weber ]
   * debian/in/control: Add pcre to build-dependencies. It's needed since
     2.9.5 for some features.
   * debian/patches/50_fix_hold_state.dpatch: correct a problem when using
     clearplot; and hold on; (Closes: #391033), thanks John W. Eaton This
     patch changes a .l file, so we build-depend on flex in debian/control!

octave2.9 (2.9.9-1) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Rafael Laboissiere ]
   * New upstream release
   * debian/patches/50_sparse-fct-scalar-arg.patch.dpatch,

     indenting correctly the description of option --mex in the mkoctfile
     man page
 
   [ Thomas Weber ]
   * debian/in/control: build-depend on gnuplot-nox instead of gnuplot; maybe
     this will allow us to circumvent a temporary dependency problem with
     gnuplot on several architectures (alpha, mips, mipsel).

   * debian/patches/50_sparse-fct-scalar-arg.patch.dpatch: Make spkron
     (and other sparse matrix functions) accept scalar arguments. Thanks to
     David Bateman <adb014 AT gmail DOT com> for posting the patch in
     bug@octave.org (closes: #387137).

     INSTALL_SUBDIRS variables in octMakefile, allowing the build/install
     of the documentation files separately

octave2.9 (2.9.6-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/in/PACKAGE.conf: Added code for removing all the directories
     containing octave-forge .m scripts.  This allows octave2.9 and
     octave-forge to be installed together and avoids errors in octave2.9
     such as etime calling an outdated datenum function from octave-forge
     (closes: #375646).

 -- Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@debian.org>  Tue, 27 Jun 2006 16:57:16 +0200

octave2.9 (2.9.6-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/in/PACKAGE.conf: Renamed from debian/octave.conf.  Contains
     slice directives for initializing the Octave path differently
     according to the branch: for 2.1, use the LOADPATH variable; for 2.9,
     use the addpath function (closes: #373965)
   * debian/control: Build-Depends on slice for doing the above
   * debian/rules: Install $(PACKAGE).conf instead of octave.conf

 -- Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@debian.org>  Sat, 17 Jun 2006 04:46:35 +0200

octave2.9 (2.9.6-1) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Thomas Weber ]
   * New upstream release
   * debian/in/control: Don't conflict with octave-forge anymore.  Bug
     #362591 was indeed a problem with the configure script and has been
     fixed upstream.
   * debian/in/octave2.9-00list: Removed from the list the following
     patches:
     - 50_fix-apiversion-2.9.dpatch (applied upstream)
     - 50_system_doc-2.9.dpatch (applied upstream)
     - 50_octave-value-list-resize-2.9.dpatch (this was a gcc bug)
     - 50_automatic-replot-docstring (behaviour changed in 2.9)
     Put a space into the file -- otherwise it's empty and won't get included
     in the diff, thus breaking the build.
 
   [ Rafael Laboissiere ]
   * debian/in/control:
     - Bumped Standards-Version to 3.7.2 (no changes needed)
     - Constrain build-dependency on g++-4.1 >= 4.1.1-4, because the
       previous version wrongly triggers a "operator delete" compilation
       error  (see bugs #372705, #372152, and #372559).  This is only
       temporary, to insure that the autobuilders will work correctly.  In
       the next version of the package, this build-dependency will be
       dropped.

   * debian/patches/50_automatic-replot-docstring.dpatch: Patch for adding
     a docstring for the automatic_replot built-in variable (closes:
     #361705, although only partially, because the "return" keyword is
     still indexed as a variable and I do not think the upstream author
     will change this)

     worked.

octave2.1 (1:2.1.72-8) unstable; urgency=low

    +++ Changes by Rafael Laboissiere
 
   * debian/in/octave-depends: New template file.  Give full path to
     octave-config.  Uses replaceable strings @MAJOR@ and @VERSION@.
   * debian/rules: Generate debian/octave-depends from
     debian/in/octave-depends

octave2.1 (1:2.1.72-7) unstable; urgency=low

    +++ Changes by Rafael Laboissiere
 
   * This version use an epoch in his number.  This is necessary due to the
     mistake I did in uploading the octave_2.9.4-1 virtual package to
     unstable.  The 2.9.4-1 version replaced the 2.1.72-* version and this
     is wrong because the 2.1 (testing) branch should take precedence over
     the 2.9 (unstable) branch.

 -- Debian Octave Group <pkg-octave-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>  Sat, 26 Nov 2005 22:52:34 +0100

octave2.9 (2.9.4-8) unstable; urgency=low

    +++ Changes by Rafael Laboissiere
 
   * Rebuilt the 2.9 branch with the m68k-specific settings removed.
   * debian/in/control: The octave virtual package is now only generated
     for the 2.9 branch, but depends on octave2.1, which is the recommended
     version for end-users.  This is counter-intuitive, but is necessary
     due to a mistake in uploading the octave virtual package with version
     2.9.4-1, which is still stuck in unstable.

 -- Debian Octave Group <pkg-octave-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>  Sun, 27 Nov 2005 12:39:36 +0100

octave2.1 (2.1.72-6) unstable; urgency=low

    +++ Changes by Rafael Laboissiere
 
   * debian/in/control: The package now build-depends on gfortran on all
     architectures, incluing m68k, which used to build-depend on fort77.
   * debian/rules: Removed all m68k-specific settings.  This should fix the
     FTBFS on m68k.  Thanks to Stephen R Marenka <stephen@marenka.net>
     for the patch (closes: #340773)

 -- Debian Octave Group <pkg-octave-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>  Fri, 25 Nov 2005 23:05:29 +0100

octave2.9 (2.9.4-7) unstable; urgency=low

    +++ Changes by Rafael Laboissiere
 
   * debian/in/control: Added libglpk0 to the build-dependencies for

   * New upstream release
   * debian/in/octave2.1-00list: Removed patch
     50_no-check-nested-functions-2.1, which has been applied upstream
 
   * Packages octave2.1-* and octave2.9-* can now be installed together
     (FIXME: THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR octave2.x-info YET!!!)
   * debian/in/control: Packages octave*-headers, octave*-doc, and
     octave*-htmldoc conflict with versions << 2.1
   * debian/in/PACKAGE-htmldoc.doc-base.*: Make versioned documents for
     doc-base
   * debian/rules:
     - Install versioned octave-depends, defs.make, and and 50octave.el
       files
     - (configure-stamp) Set versioned infofile variable in call to
       configure
     - (make-stamp) Save texi files in *-save and replace setfilename
       macros with versioned names
     - (clean) Recover original *.texi files

       with octave2.1 taking high priority than octave2.9 for all
       alternatives set through update-alternatives

     and m68k, which changed recently (thanks to Christian T. Steigies

   * debian/in/PACKAGE-htmldoc.postinst: Removed this script, because it
     does nothing more than include the debhelper-generated one

    +++ Changes by Rafael Laboissiere
 
   * The patches applied by dpatch are now done selectively according to
     the version of Octave.  For that, the debian/patches/00list file is
     now generated when running "./debian/rules maintainer-scripts" from
     the files debian/in/$(PACKAGE)-00list.
   * debian/rules (maintainer-scripts): Generate file
     debian/patches/00list
   * debian/in/octave2.1-00list, debian/in/octave2.9-00list: New files.
   * debian/patches/50_no-check-nested-functions-2.1.dpatch: New patch,
     which is actually the same used in the last version of the package
     octave2.1.
   * debian/patches/50_no-check-nested-functions-2.9.dpatch: New patch,
     only for octave2.9, which is equivalent to the one used for
     octave2.1.
   * debian/in/PACKAGE.lintian:
     - Made this file package-independent, really
     - Removed old Lintian overrides

octave2.1 (2.1.71-3) unstable; urgency=low

   +++ Changes by Rafael Laboissiere
 
   * Recompiled against libhdf5-serial-1.6.4-0c2 and with g++ 4.0.  This
     should complete the C++ ABI transition for the octave2.1 package
     (closes: #327027).
   * Also, once this version will reach unstable, problems with using
     mkoctfile with g++ 4.0 will disappear (closes: #327509).
 
   * debian/compat: Created this file, containing the compatibility level 4
     for debhelper.  This avoids warning messages from the debhelper
     scripts.
   * debian/rules: Change installation directory from debian/tmp to
     debian/octave2.1 and also gives the later as --sourcedir for the
     dh_movefiles command.  This allows building the package under
     debhelper compatibility level = 4.
   * debian/in/PACKAGE.conffiles, debian/octave2.1.conffiles,
     debian/in/PACKAGE-emacsen.conffiles,
     debian/octave2.1-emacsen.conffiles: Removed files, since debhelper in
     compatibility level 4 adds automatically all files in /etc/ to the
     conffiles file.
 
   * debian/copyright: Updated Free Software Foundation address.
 
   * debian/changelog:  Removed all instances of the deprecated
     "[Cc]loses=*" from the package version lines.  Removed all the entries
     before version 1.1.1-7, because they were not in the correct format.
     This legacy material is now in debian/changelog-old.
 
   * debian/patches/50_no-check-nested-functions.dpatch: Added patch which
     avoid global function definitions to take over local ones (see
     http://www.octave.org/mailing-lists/help-octave/2005/3189).
 
   * debian/octave-config.1: Removed this file, since there is another one
     upstream which is up-to-date (in doc/interpreter).
 
   * debian/rules: The octave-config script is now part of the
     octave($version)-headers package.
   * debian/in/PACKAGE.postinst, debian/in/PACKAGE-headers.postinst: Update
     alternatives for octave-config and octave-config.1 in
     octave($version)-headers package instead of octave($version).

octave2.1 (2.1.71-2) unstable; urgency=low

   +++ Changes by Rafael Laboissiere
 
   * Uploaded to the unstable distribution.  Actually, there was no bump in
     the API version, it is still api-v13
   * This version fixes the FTBFS problem on amd64 using g++ 4.0 related to
     wrong enum declarations in src/lex.l and src/toplevel.cc (closes:
     #314705).
   * debian/in/control: Bumped Standards-Version to 3.6.2. No changes needed.
   * debian/in/PACKAGE.menu: Use full version number for the menu command.
     This makes Lintian happy.

octave2.1 (2.1.71-1) experimental; urgency=low

   +++ Changes by Rafael Laboissiere
 
   * New upstream release, released to experimental because the API number
     bumped from api-v13 to api-v15.  This makes several other
     Octave-related package unusable and the uploads to unstable must be
     coordinated.
   * debian/in/watch: New template file for debian/watch, which takes into
     account the MAJOR number of the Octave branch (currently either 2.1 or
     2.9).
   * debian/rules (helper-files): Generate debian/watch from
     debian/in/watch
   * debian/in/control: Versioned build-dependency on libhdf5-serial-dev (>=
     1.6.4)

   * debian/control: For the octave2.1-doc package, changed mention to

     - Adjust for using dpatch
     - Use compiler flag "-O0" instead of "-O1" for the m68k architecture.
       Let us hope that this will fix the buildd problem on the m68k
       architecture.
     - Removed hack to build the PDF documentation files, since they are
       now built by the upstream Makefile
   * debian/patches/50_build-faq-pdf.dpatch: Added patch for building
     Octave-FAQ.pdf

   * New upstream release 2.1.65 released 24 hours ago
 
   +++ Changes by Rafael Laboissiere
 
   * debian/*.postinst.in, debian/*.prerm.in: Moved these files from the
     original *.postinst and *. prerm ones
   * debian/octave2.1.lintian.in: Idem from octave2.1.lintian
   * debian/defs.make, debian/octave-depends: Added files
   * debian/rules:
     - (configure-stamp) Generate *.postinst, *.prerm, and *.lintian by
       replacing the  @VERSION@ string with the current Octave version number
     - (clean) Remove the *.postinst, *.prerm, *.lintian files generated
       automatically
     - (install) Install files defs.make and octave-depends in
       octave2.1-headers package
   * Install PDF documentation files instead of the PS ones.  There is a
     pdfdocs variable in debian/rules now that control which files are
     built/installed.  Build-Depends on tetex-bin. (Closes: #293562)
 
   +++ Changes by Adam Conrad:
 
   * Add logic to debian/rules and debian/control to make sure that
     octave2.1-headers depends on f2c on m68k (closes: #292917)

octave2.1 (2.1.64-3) unstable; urgency=low

   +++ Changes by Rafael Laboissiere:
 
   * debian/rules: Get the logic around octave-bug.in right.  This was
     causing a FTBFS in all architectures because the test failed and,
     consequently, make failed (closes: #292403).
   * debian/changelog: Start using "Debian Octave Group" in the signature
     of entries.  Also, added Emacs variable settings at the end, handy
     when using debian-changelog-mode.  This avoids two warnings issued by
     Lintian regarding mismatch between maintainer and uploader, and the
     necessity to document NMU.

octave2.1 (2.1.64-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Uploaded in behalf of the new maintainer of the octave2.1 packages: the
     Debian Octave Group <pkg-octave-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>
   * debian/control:
     - Changed Maintainer
     - Build-depends on libreadline5-dev
     - octave2.1-headers depends on libreadline5-dev
     - Lower-cased the first word and removed some "The" words in the short
       description of packages, as per the Developers Reference, section
       6.2.2.  This makes Lintian happy.
   * debian/rules:
     - (clean) Inverse the order of the calls to rm libcruft/*/Makefile and
       make distclean.  This was causing several *.o in libcruft to be left
       after debian/rules clean, which resulted in dpkg-source breakage when
       building the diff.gz package file.
     - (configure) Save the original octave-bug.in file as octave-bug.in.orig
       prior to the tempfile substitution
     - (clean) Restore octave-bug.in.orig as octave-bug.in, such that the
       patch does not end up in the diff.gz file

octave2.1 (2.1.54-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream version 2.1.54 released today
   * Upstream changes to close the two open bugs
     octave2.1-emacsen: strings between single quotes containing % troubles
     							(Closes: #231272)
     Missing file from html documentatios (Closes: #231451)
 
   * debian/control: Build-Depends changed from fftw-dev to fftw3-dev

   * debian/control: Build-Depends upgraded from atlas2 to atlas3 using
     'refblas3-dev | atlas3-base-dev, lapack3-dev | atlas3-base-dev'
     Previous value was the slighty more complex 'atlas2-base-dev
     (>= 3.2.1ln-6) [!arm] | atlas2-3dnow-dev (>= 3.2.1ln-6) [!arm], blas-dev'

octave2.1 (2.1.51-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream version octave 2.1.51 released today
 
   * This represents a fairly major change from the last release. Quoting from
     the announcement:
        This version has many new features and bug fixes.  The biggest change
        is that N-d arrays (for numbers, structs, and cells) are mostly
        working, though there are some significant features that still need to
        be implemented.  For example, the [] operator will fail to concatenate
        N-d arrays, but we hope to fix this for 2.1.52.  If you find that
        another of your favorite N-d array operations doesn't work, please
        mention it so we can have some idea of what features are missed the
        most.
     See http://www.octave.org/mailing-lists/octave-maintainers/2003/353
     for the full announcement, or the upstream ChangeLog in the package.

octave2.1 (2.1.49-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * The "will we get this into testing now?" release
   * As we managed to get octave2.1 compiled on m68k (using f2c) and on
     hppa (using gcc/g++ 3.3), let's remove the last problem: hdf5 which has
     a grave upstream bug (#193033) and will not currently enter testing
   * debian/rules: Configure call (temporarily) changed to  --without-hdf5
   * debian/control: Build-Depends on libhdf5-serial-dev (>= 1.4.5) removed

octave2.1 (2.1.48-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/control: Hardwire Depends: on gcc et al to 3.2 as some of
     Octave's C++ code is not yet ready for release 3.3 of g++
   * debian/rules: After days of experimenting with crest.debian.org (scoring
     an impressive 96 bogomips), we found that g77 -O0 and -O2 really don't
     work for m68k on some of the legacy Fortran, but miracously f2c -O1 does
     -- and so does gcc -O1. Luckily it only took about 26 hours for each
     'make' run, and I am really glad that Debian Policy more or less forces
     me to care so much about m68k. If only there were any users for this
     architecture ...
     .
     Needless to say, it is somewhat sad that this recompilation is forced
     upon the other architectures on which gcc/g++/g77 are working just fine.
     Oh the things one has to do to get Octave back into Debian testing.

   * This upstream release supports gcc versions 2.9.x and 3.0.x so
     we do not need the full patch by Jeff Licquia <jlicquia@progeny.com>
     but use parts of it (in deban/rules and debian/control) to select
     gcc/g++/g77 3.0 on the ia64 architecture. (Closes: #117929)
   * debian/rules: Added --with-fftw to use Fast Fourier Transf. libraries
   * debian/control: Added fftw-dev to Build-Depends
   * debian/rules: Install .el files into octave2.1-emacsen, not octave
   * debian/50octave.el: Apply small patch to correct loading
   * Thanks to Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@debian.org> for both the
     suggestion and the patch (Closes: #117581)
   * debian/otags.1: contributed simple manual page (lintian)
   * debian/octave2.1-emacsen.{postinst,prerm}: dpkg-alternatives for otags

octave2.1 (2.1.34-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/rules: Configure --with-fastblas=blas (available on nine
     architectures), Atlas can dynamically override this where available
   * debian/control: Changed atlas reference to blas for Build-Depends,
     requires versioned Build-Depends on blas-dev (>= 1.0-9)
   * debian/README.Atlas: Added simple README file on Atlas
   * debian/mkoctfile.in: New upstream version, better f2c treatment

     the others do not. Similarly, currently only i386 has hdf5 support.
   * debian/control: Adjust Build-Depends accordingly

 -- Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>  Fri, 22 Jun 2001 22:45:08 -0500

octave2.1 (2.1.34-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Makeconf.in: Reverted back to version as of a few days ago as the patch
     included into 2.1.34 at the last minute prevents a proper installation
     of the octave header files

 -- Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>  Sun, 22 Apr 2001 16:18:03 -0500

octave2.1 (2.1.34-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/rules: install lintian overrides file to tell lintian to not
     worry about the dynamic libraries in /usr/lib/octave-2.1.33/

   * debian/control: octave2.1-htmldoc conflicts with octave-htmldoc

     in case new "empty transition" octave (>= 2.0.16.91) is not installed
   * liboctave/Range.cc: Applied patch by JWE

     older octave-htmldoc to allow overwriting of files (Closes: #69573)
   * debian/control: octave2.0-info conflicts with octave (<= 2.0.16)
   * debian/rules: Comment out dh_undocumented call (Closes: #70495)
   * Bug report #70037 cannot be replicated here on a fresh install, the
     likely cause is probably an upgrade issue which is tougher to debug
     leading to a tentative closing of the bug report and the suggestion
     to reopen should the bug reappear. (Closes: #70037)

 -- Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>  Tue, 2 Oct 2000 19:16:29 -0500

     update-alternatice for the octace2.1-headers package (Closes: #67080)

 -- Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>  Tue, 18 Jul 2000 21:23:55 -0400

 -- Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>  Thu, 27 Apr 2000 21:24:06 -0400

octave2.1 (2.1.30-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * First release of Octave based on the 2.1.* development series
   * Built with a new setup which allows a parallel installation of 2.0.*
     and 2.1.* -- this requires matching octave2.0 packages which are being
     provided based on 2.0.16.91, the most recent stable release.

octave (2.0.16-1) frozen unstable; urgency=low

   * Upgraded to new upstream stable release
   * As this fixes several small bugs reported on the bug-octave mailing
     list, it would be good if this version could be included in potato
   * Applied trivial patch to saveimage.m (Closes: #29932)

 -- Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>  Mon, 31 Jan 2000 19:14:45 -0500

octave (2.0.15-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Upgraded to release 2.0.15 of Octave
   * Created new package octave-headers as the include files are only
     needed for compiling C++ (or C or Fortran) against Octave -- this
     saves over 700kB (installed) from the basic Octave package.
   * Built using the libreadline4 package
   * debian/control: Added Build-Depends

octave (2.0.14.90-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/rules: Don't let dh_installemacsen modify postinst and prerm,
     rather use our previous code which first tests for emacsen-commen so
     that we don't have to depend on it (Closes: #44924)

   * Upgraded to first pre-release of Octave 2.0.15

octave (2.0.14-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Recompiled under libstdc++2.10 trying to get rid of the errorneous

   * Recompiled under libc6_2.1.2-0pre7 and libstdc++2.9-glib2.1_2.91.66-2
 
   * src/sysdep.cc: Added `#include termcap' conditional on HAVE_TERMCAP_H
     and modified one prototype to compile with gcc-2.95 as suggested by

octave (2.0.13.96-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Starting with this release of the Debian package, Octave is linked
     against Debian's copy of libreadline (instead of its own) as Debian's
     libreadline package now provides all the needed symbols (fixes #27707)
   * debian/shlibs.local: Added to depend on libreadline2g-2.1-13
 
   * debian/rules: Added powerpc support. Thanks to Konstantinos
     Margaritis <kmargar@cc.uoa.gr> for the patch.

   * Applied (modified) patch by Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@icp.inpg.fr> to
     emacsen install script for [x]emacs handling of 'no-site-file' script
   * While this does not formally close an open Debian bug, it should go
     into frozen as the previous four pre-releases of Octave-2.0.14

 -- Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>  Fri, 4 Dec 1998 20:44:57 -0500

octave (2.0.13.93-1) frozen unstable; urgency=low

   * Upgraded to fourth pre-release of Octave 2.0.14 which contains
     an upstream bug fix to Bessel function arguments
   * Built properly with upstream sources in octave_2.0.13.93.orig.tar.gz
     so that a .diff.gz is built (fixes #29674)

 -- Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>  Wed, 18 Nov 1998 19:51:24 -0500

octave (2.0.13.92-1) frozen unstable; urgency=low

   * Upgraded to third pre-release of Octave 2.0.14
   * Among other things, this defines __NO_MATH_INLINES to prevent the use
     of inlines in /usr/include/__math.h which cannot cope with expressions
     like exp(Inf). My thanks to John Eaton for having debugged this, on my
     computer ;-) (fixed #27516)

octave (2.0.13-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Recompiled under egcs_2.91.57 and libstdc++_2.91.57 (fixes #26776)
   * Changed cursor keybindings for inferior-octave-mode to comments in
     /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50octave.el; now the Emacs mode for Octave is
     consistent with other comint modes, on the other hand, the code that is
     commented out makes the mode consistent with Octave's own shell. The
     difference is whether cursor keys or M-p,M-n are used to scroll
     through the readline history (fixes #26468)
   * Applied patch by Mumit Khan for use with newer egcs compiler
     (http://www.che.wisc.edu/octave/mailing-lists/bug-octave/1998/270)

octave (2.0.13-4) frozen unstable; urgency=medium

   * Applied patch by Roman Hodek <Roman.Hodek@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>
     to configure{,.in} to also use the -rpath linker option on non-Intel
     Linux systems to allow for dynamic linking of Octave libraries. While
     this change does not affect i386 systems, it fixes an important bug for
     other Debian architectures and should go into frozen (fixes #23674)
   * Changed debian/rules to use --with-f2c argument for configure under
     m68k, and --with-g77 (from the egcs suite) under i386, sparc and alpha.

     directory to emacs load-path

octave (2.0.11.92-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fixed dependency on info to "info (>= 3.12)"

 -- Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>  Fri, 17 Apr 1998 18:44:10 -0400

octave (2.0.11.92-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Added Depends: on "info (>= 3.12-1) | info-browser" to debian/control
     as Octave no longer comes with an info binary
   * Added explicit setting of INFO_PROGRAM = "/usr/bin/info" to
     /etc/octave.conf as the default INFO_PROGRAM still points to the old
     location

octave (2.0.11.92-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Upgraded to new upstream test-release 2.0.11.92
   * Compiled with libstdc++2.8_2.90.27-0.6 which provides a correctly
     versioned shlibs file (fixes #20033, #20978)

 -- Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>  Thu, 16 Apr 1998 18:41:21 -0400

octave (2.0.11.91-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Upgraded to new upstream test-release 2.0.11.91
   * This fixes a couple of small bugs, one of them dear to to fellow
     Debianer Jim van Zandt, and as a test-release might as well go into
     our current 'unstable' distribution. I have used previous pre-releases
     and they work just as well --- call it the pre-patch methodology
     spreading into application space ;-)

octave (2.0.11-2) frozen unstable; urgency=low

   * Compilation with new gcc/g77/g++ 2.90.26 based on egcs
   * Changed debian/rules by adding a Perl one-liner substition so that
     /usr/bin/octave-bug will use tempfile(1) to create a temporary
     filename; also sent the sources for debianutils-1.8 upstream so that
     they might be included in the next release (fixes #19804)

octave (2.0.11-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Upgraded to new upstream version

 -- Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>  Wed, 25 Feb 1998 18:33:04 -0500

octave (2.0.10-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Compilation with f2c instead of g77 in order to get a libc6 version
     going (see bug report #17963 filed against g77)
 
   * Added Replaces: octave (<= 2.0.5-2) to control for octave-staticlibs
     to cleanly replace the static libraries from the older octave package
     as well as an explicit version number for the Depends: on octave
     (thanks to Richard Braakman for the hints)
 
   * Fixed FSF address in copyright (lintian)
   * Made octave.rc to /etc/octave.conf symlink absolute (lintian)
   * Created links to ../man7/undocumented.7.gz in lieu of manual pages
     for the two utility scripts octave-bug and mkoctfile (lintian)

octave (2.0.10-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Upgraded to new upstream version
 
   * This version is compiled on a libc5 system as g77/gcc and eg77/egcc
     (including the new {gcc,g77}_2.90.23-1) both die on some legacy
     Fortran code on a libc6 system. Major bummer.

   * Now ships the unmodified upstream source as octave_2.0.9.orig.tar.gz
   * Byte-compile the octave-{mod,hlp,inf}.el files
   * Includes two newer octave-{mod,inf} files and add an elisp startup
     file /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50octave.el (thanks to Nils Naumann)

octave (2.0.5-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * added creation of /usr/local/share/octave/site-m in the postinst if
     /usr/local filesystem is writable and removal of the directories
     /usr/local/share/octave/site-m and /usr/local/share/octave/site-m in
     the prerm if they are empty to reflect Debian policy on /usr/local/
   * moved configuration file /usr/share/octave/site/m/startup/octaverc
     into /etc/octave.conf and provided a softlink from the default location
   * added LOADPATH setting to octave.conf aka octaverc for the local tree
   * made /etc/octave.conf a conffile
   * moved static libs into a seperate package (which is not needed for
     normal use of octave) --- this saves 4.4 MB of diskspace
   * patched mkoctfile.in to add a flag for stripping to /usr/bin/mkoctfile
   * changed configure to explicit setting of host architecture

 -- Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>  Sun, 27 Apr 1997 19:06:03 -0400

octave (2.0.5-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * rewrote debian/rules:

       allows dynamic extension of the octave language via user provided
       C++ programs; examples are in /usr/doc/octave/examples
     - configure prefix /usr; install prefix debian/tmp/usr (fixes bug #8139)
     - configure for libs in /usr/lib/octave to avoid clashed
     - include upstream postscript docs
   * rewrote Description in debian/control:
   * changed Priority: to optional as per overrides file
   * changed Suggests: from info to virtual package info-browser
   * created new package octave-doc for postscript docs on octave
   * updated debian/copyright
   * new maintainer
