Re: CVS Octave is now Pix-free

[Andy Adler]

Thanks for this work, John.

My only issue is that if we check in these changes now,
then octave-forge will not build with any "released" version
of octave.

I suppose we could always refer people to the released octave
forge packages - but I suspect we'll have many people
writing to the octave mailing list with complaints.

Comments?

Andy
