I am the octave-forge maintainer.

The octave forge source files have been updated.  Quite a few of the new 
source packages require octave-devel (3.1.55) instead of octave itself. 
  I am not quite sure what to do.  I was hoping some end users could 
give me their opinion.  Here are some options:

1.  Leave it all alone until octave catches up to octave-devel.
2.  Make octave-forge pull in octave-devel as a dependency instead of 
octave.


I am sure that there are many other options as well, which you should 
also send to me.

Stephen
