Well, doing mental arithmetic in public is somewhat risky, but IIRC Steve
said eight days two days ago -- so we should be fine by the end of next
weeks, if all goes well.

No, not directly. Developers have access to accounts on different
architectire, but the build dependencies for complex packages tend to not be
fulfilled, so one needs to bug debian-admin. Doable but tedious.

I'd say let's wait a reasonable amount of time to let the current
octave-forge enter testing, and then start a new cycle. Nothing wrong with
releasing a handful of tarball over a couple of days or weeks to iron
everything out. It really does not have to be perfect at the first attempt.

Hoep this helps, Dirk
