The Release team told me that it’s ok to upload to unstable despite the libgfortran4 transition. And the gl2ps transition has not yet begun. However last time I tried to build the package I got an "Illegal instruction" fatal error in the testsuite (in libinterp/corefcn/graphics.cc-tst). I could verify that it is related to the Qt5 move. I think this needs to be either fixed or reverted before we can make a new octave upload. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Sébastien Villemot ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian Developer ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ http://sebastien.villemot.name ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://www.debian.org
