-	      Announcing Versioned Octave packages for Debian
-
-This is to announce the upload of new Octave packages for Debian, taken from
-the stable (currently octave-2.0.*), the recommended (currently
-octave-2.1.*) as well as the development (currently octave-2.9.*) branches,
-to Debian's master archive.
-
-Using Debian's update-alternatives mechanism, as well as minor
-reorganisation of the Octave file tree which John Eaton kindly provided in
-the upstream sources, permits to install *both* at the same time providing
-two main binaries (like octave2.0, octave2.1, and octave2.9) as well as the
-alternative octave which defaults to the stable branch. The adjunct packages
-for Emacs support, info docs, html docs and ps docs are also versioned.
-
-With this mechanism, Debian allows for the stability of the 2.1.* release
-(and thereby provides continued support for "legacy" applications in Octave
-which could break by subtle, but important, changes in Octave 2.9). At same
-time, it finally introduces the newer Octave 2.9.* which is the centre of
-current development into Debian.
-
-
-Note for the maintainers:
-
-All debhelper files are now automatically generated by debian/rules from
-the template files in/PACKAGE*.  The debian/control file must be generated
-by hand after a fresh SVN checkout by running:
-
-    ./debian/rules debian/control
