* Package name    : octave-database
  Version         : 1.0.0

  Description     : octave bindings to common databases

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 bug report without upload. The database package uses
the Octave SWIG wrappers, which are known to crash Octave on exit.

Additionally, some part of the code is GPL2 only, whereas Octave is
GPL3+. According to the FSF's faq, this makes combining the code
impossible.
