though the DOG does intend to package the described software for
Debian.  We apologize for the glitches in the text below.]


* Package name    : octave-engine
  Version         : 1.0.5
  Upstream Author : Jesse Bennett <jesse@seas.smu.edu>

  Description     : An external interface library for Octave

This is one of the packages distributed by the octave-forge project
using the pkg.m system introduced in version 3 of Octave [1], a
numerical computation software.

Although users can use directly the pkg() command for installing the
octave-forge pkgs, the Debian Octave Group (DOG) [2] will provide them
as Debian packages. Preliminary versions of the packages can be found
in the DOG SVN repository [3].  The final versions of the packages
will be built using the octave-pkg-dev insfrastructure [4] [5].

The full list of octave-forge pkgs can be found at the SF project website [6].

I'm closing this ITP without upload. Quoting from upstream doc/README:

What is liboct?
===============

A buggy, poorly written and undocumented library of C functions which
*might* allow *some people* to integrate Octave into their F77/C/C++
programs.  All I can promise is that it worked for what I needed to do
at the time it was written.  It is really just a hack which satisfied
a need I had.


I don't think we need that kind of one-time software in Debian.
