Hi, Arch has octave-2.1.73 in extra. The current stable version of octave is 3.0.0 but it is not backwards compatible with the 2.1.x series. The gcc-4.2.3 migration has broken octave due to a versioned dependency on gcc-fortran. Also, the PKGBUILD has no license or md5sum entries. The octave-2.1.73 PKGBUILD will need fixing but should it be updated to 3.0.0 and, if so, should a legacy octave2 package be created? I'm looking for opinions before I file any bug report.
By the way, there are two PKGBUILDs of octave 3 in AUR : octave-devel and octave3.
