Dirk: what should I do? Should I package this version > instead of the patched 2004-09-09? Then I'd vote to put 2.1.63 out straight away with the API version number updated and call it the testing release. My reasoning is that basically all that has happened since 2.1.59 has been bug fixes for the patches between 2.1.57 and 2.1.59. So most of the bugs that will come out with the use of an unstable release have already come out.. Also an immediate release avoids all possibility of other changes being needed in octave-forge to support a 2.1.63 testing release.. This way 2.1.63 and octave-forge 2004.11.16 can get into debian sarge..
