Spot was my original sponsor, who did look at my packages before I 
checked them into CVS. Several people responded to my initial CVS 
checkins, and I have corrected all of the problems that came up. Does 
that constitute approval or does there need to be a final review?

I haven't started working on packaging octave yet because I'm still 
working on an FC3 system at the moment. My original plan was to get 
these packages added, approved, and built on FC3, and then begin working 
on building octave for FC4. From the octave mailing lists I understand 
this could be a bit of an undertaking with the move from g77 to 
gfortran. Anyway, this was a perfectly reasonable plan back in February 
when I first asked for sponsorship, but obviously the process has taken 
much longer than planned. Should I work on building octave for FC4 
before I get any of these approved?
