I'm starting to take a look at creating a standard method of building rpms of
octave packages for Fedora. I'm starting with the old octave-forge package as
a starting point.
I don't really know that much about RPM's, so I can't offer much helpful
insight. David Bateman did some work on autogenerating RPM spec files
for packages. Did you look at this?
Finally, when a user tries to remove and rpm install octave package, they get:
octave:3> pkg uninstall octcdf
warning: some of the packages you want to uninstall are not installed
which does not seem correct.
Hmm, I guess we should check if the package in question is installed by
'root' and adapt the error message accordingly. We could say something
like: "warning: you do not have the necessary privileges to remove
package 'XXX'". Could you open a bug report on http://bugs.octave.org
for this?
