Introduction
The Debian Octave Group (DOG) is a collaborative effort for maintaining the Octave-related Debian packages. Coordination is done through the pkg-octave project at Alioth.
Any developer, either a member of Debian or not, is invited to participate. If you are interested, please drop a note to the project administrators at Alioth.
Maintained packages
Development is coordinated through Git repositories, using the git-buildpackage tool (with the associated git-dch tool for generating debian/changelog entries).
Mailing lists
There are two mailing lists related to the project:
pkg-octave-devel: Development discussion for Octave and Octave-related packages in Debian
pkg-octave-commit: Automatic Git activity notifications
Migration to git-buildpackage and Octave 3.6
We are currently doing two migrations in our packages:
- from git repositories which contain only the debian/ subdir to git repositories handled by git-buildpackage
- from Octave 3.2 to Octave 3.6, which implies renaming some dependencies/build-dependencies
The following table lists the current state of the migrations for each package, and who has taken responsibility for it. The number of installed packages comes from the Debian Popularity Contest project (updated on 2012-03-10).

The following table lists packages that have been removed from Debian and are therefore not important for the transition (this just serves as reminder that they were not overlooked):
- octave-ann
- octave-bioinfo
- octave-ftp
- octave-integration
- octave-irsa
- octave-nlwing2
- octave-outliers
- octave-physicalconstants
- octave-symband
- octave-xraylib
Bellow is the list of packages in Octave-Forge that are not yet in Debian. We will give very low priority to them before the transition to 3.6 and gbp is complete, unless there is a strong demand from the community to include any of them.
- actuarial
- civil-engineering
- database
- dataframe
- dicom
- engine
- es (unmaintained upstream)
- fenv
- fits
- fl-core
- fuzzy-logic-toolkit
- generate_html (will not be ported; only of interest for Octave-Forge developers)
- gnuplot
- mechanics
oct2mat (will not be ported, see Carlo de Falco comment)
- octclip
- octproj
- odebvp
- openmpi_ext
- pt_br (unmaintained upstream)
quaternion (RFP: 529732)
- queueing
- secs3d
- special-matrix
- spline-gcvspl
tcl-octave (RFP: 482615)
- video
- windows (tweber: I don't think - we would have to create Debian GNU/kwin32 first)
Recipe for migrating to gbp
A repository containining only the debian/ subdir can be converted to a gbp repository with the following sequence of commands:
git checkout --orphan upstream git rm -rf . git-import-orig --pristine-tar ../<package_version>.orig.tar.gz git checkout master git reset --hard origin/master git merge upstream
Then you will probably want to fix .gitignore.
When pushing your changes to the centralized repository at git.debian.org, push also the branches related to the upstream code, as well as the local tags:
git push --set-upstream origin upstream pristine-tar git push --tags
Check list for the Octave-Forge packages
Bump the build-dependency on octave-pkg-dev to >= 1.0.1.
- Bump the Standards-Version to 3.9.3.
- The recommended debhelper compat level is 9.
- Add Sébastien Villemot to the list of Uploaders
We use a machine-readable debian/copyright with the 1.0 specification. Generating this file can be simplified by the following command:
licensecheck -r --copyright -c '\.m|\.cc|\.h' . | /usr/lib/cdbs/licensecheck2dep5
Note that you will have to update the Format line using the finalized URL for version 1.0. If you are using CDBS version 0.4.103 or later, the URL will be that for version 1.0.
You can also automatically fix some errors in your file using the following command (from package libconfig-model-perl):
cme fix dpkg-copyright
