Sergei,
I was going to respond to your email, but Jordi got there first and expressed
by sentiments much better than I'm capable of.
I would like to add that you are not the only one who is frustrated with Octave
Forge's packages.
Unfortunately, as Octave Forge and Octave are maintained by separate teams I
think it is to be expected that some problem will exist.
I expect both teams would welcome new volunteers who are motived to ensure
Octave Forge's packages can be installed in a convenient manner on all OS's for
recent versions of Octave.
I wish I had the time. Unfortunately, my normal day job keeps me plenty busy at
the moment.
