I hope people will compare your and my approach, and give us their opinions. In some ways, I prefer your approach, because it ideologically fits better with the freebsd package maintenance. And even if I decide to go with my approach, I think I will definitely use the bsd.octave.mk idea. I'm going to wait a few weeks, I think, until I have had time to think about it more, and get more ideas and thoughts. Stephen
