Valid set of "octave" and "octave-forge" RPMS for FC3 and FC4?

[Rick Niles]

So looking through old mailing lists it appears there was a problem with 
Octave as shipped with Fedora Core 3.  I'm just very suprised after more 
than 10 years of development I can't find set of binary RPMS for octave 
and octave-forge "blessed" to work with FC3 (or FC4).  I understand 
someone took the responsibility for maintaning octave/octave-forge for 
Fedora Extras as octave has been dropped from Fedora Core 4, but I 
couldn't find any of those packages.   I also understand that many 
Octave developers (including John) are "build it from the source" kinda 
people, but in the corporate world it's lot easier if you can just point 
the support staff to a set of binary RPMS and say "install that".

Can we get something like "FreshRPMS.net" for octave?  It would have 
distro specific binary packages for octave & octave-forge updated 
regularly. (Note: I'm not voluteering to do this. :) )

   Thanks,
   Rick Niles.
