Dear Maintainer,

pfstools fails to compile against Octave 4.0, which has recently been uploaded
to unstable.

A full build log is available at:

 https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=pfstools&arch=amd64&ver=1.8.5-2%2Bb2&stamp=1437309460

The relevant part is:

 g++ -c -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fPIC -I/usr/include/octave-4.0.0/octave/.. -I/usr/include/octave-4.0.0/octave -I/usr/include/hdf5/serial -I/usr/include/mpi -pthread -fopenmp -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security   -I. -I../../src/pfs/  pfsopen.cpp -o pfsopen.o
 pfsopen.cpp: In function 'octave_value_list Fpfsopen(const octave_value_list&, int)':
 pfsopen.cpp:140:3: error: 'Octave_map' was not declared in this scope
    Octave_map pfsStream;
    ^

The following excerpt from the NEWS file of Octave 4.0 could help you fix this:

 ** The internal class <Octave_map> was deprecated in Octave 3.8 and has
    been removed from Octave 4.0.  Replacement classes are
    <octave_map> (struct array) or <octave_scalar_map> for a single structure.

Best,

--
