Comment (by michaelld@…):

 Thanks for the feedback; I'm glad you have -some- octave working. I had
 the same issue a while back (just needing Octave of some sort), but I
 required the 3.4 series for some reason I no longer remember; hence, I
 started maintaining octave-devel and have continued to do so as best my
 time allows. We (interested MacPorts developers) have discussed what to do
 about Octave in the past, but IIRC have never come to any real conclusion.
 I don't use Octave heavily enough to need any of the extras (e.g., octave-
 combinatorics; "port search octave" to see a bunch), so I haven't looked
 into if/how well they will play with octave-devel. Maybe if/when I get a
 little spare time (¿between consulting jobs?) I'll have a look to see how
 difficult it would be. Or, maybe someone has already done this and I just
 don't know it yet. I think the goal is to move the current "octave-devel"
 into "octave", and then have "octave-devel" be a real devel port (the
 latest, bleeding edge).
