It is still on going. Currently octave-forge doesn't build against
2.9 but a fix for this was submitted to the CVS yesterday I believe
and a new release is imminent. The plan I have right now is to 1st
get the new release out. Then move forward with the 2.9 transition.
Rafael recently pointed out a thread [1] on debian-devel which
discussed using CDBS to do the double configure double build thing
that we would like to do with octave-forge. I think there are some
packages mentioned to look at for examples. If you want to start
looking into that and maybe getting some of the necessary code in the
2.9transition branch then after I finish the new release I will port
the changes to the branch and then we can start testing. A second
thought is that we could get the necessary frame work to do the duel
compilation into this current release (trunk) and then add the 2.9
specific stuff for the next release (branch) or something along those
lines. Are you game?
