Octave 6 is now in unstable and built on all architectures. It’s therefore now possible to upload to unstable all packages that currently have a fixed version in experimental (except maybe plplot since gnat 10 has not yet been uploaded to unstable). Please avoid unrelated uploads until the transition is over (e.g. octave-ga should ideally not be updated to the new upstream version, unless of course this fixes some issue with octave 6). > I am > quite confident that the Octave upstream authors will fix the issues.

Note that the right way of fixing bugs in octave is not via backports, but via a stable update (which will remain possible even after the release of bullseye, if the bug is serious enough). -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Sébastien Villemot ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian Developer ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://sebastien.villemot.name ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://www.debian.org
