The octave-forge package is the result of The GNU Octave Repositry project, which is intended to be a central location for custom scripts, functions and extensions for GNU Octave. contains the source for all the functions plus build and install scripts. This baseport provides the basic directory structure. Deleting this package will completely erase all the structure, and remaining files, associated with the octave packaging system. This is useful if things go wrong with the octave packaging system. WWW: http://octave.sourceforge.net/
