Re: Octave 4.4 transition

I hope that now, after Octave 4.4 is out, there will be a package-fixing
phase. Before 4.4 nobody cared that all packages continue to work (maybe
some individual package maintainers happened to test particular packages
against a release candidate).
I guess that we will see a few upstream releases withing the next weeks
and could plan for a transition in June or July.
My inclination would be to wait until most of the packages are fixed
upstream with new released tarballs before starting the transition. Our
time is too precious to be wasted in cherry-picking fixes from the
upstream repositories, unless it is strictly necessary.
