Hi Martin, Thanks very much for the very thorough follow-up!

Should they be transferred to | [EMAIL PROTECTED] too? Not necessarily. They all are on their way out: -- most of octave-ci is by now in Octave itself so octave-matcompat will get removed after the next stable release -- octave-matcompat is the predecessor to octave-forge; the latter is active so octave-matcompat will get removed after the next stable release -- octave2.0 is about to get replaced upstream as the current "upstream unstable" 2.1.* is about converged to "upstream stable" and will replace octave2.0; Debian already has the new and upcoming "upstream unstable" octave 2.9.* in experimental. I will file bug reports against ftp.debian.org for octave-ci and octave-matcompat once sarge is out. Assuming that that will happen :) Now, concerning octave2.0 (which will also get an ftp.debian.org bug report), I have been considering a "final" upload as there are one or baby bugs in it. Any comment from the pkg-octave-devel crowd? Shall we coordinate that? | > | * the gsl set: | > | > -- is still mine though Bas Zoetekouw indicated that he would like to help.

Maybe you can file RFAs for finance-streamer and dbd-odbc? Yes, esp. DBD-ODBC.

My count got down from low-80s to 67 before three new R packages crept in. 70 is still insane given my workload and other stuff so I have to see what I'll do about that. A lot of it is R though ...
