Not sure if you're aware, but all Fedora and EPEL packages are
maintained as public git repos. I think it would be ideal if you or I or
whoever else wants to help with RPM packaging forked the octave
packaging repo,

    git clone git://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/octave

allowing at least the possibility to merge in updates from them, feed
patches back to them, etc. This is what I was planning on doing once I
had worked through the libcurl compatibility problems.
