SYNOPSIS
========

g-octave [options] <package_name | package_name-version>


DESCRIPTION
===========

g-octave is a tool that generates and installs ebuilds for Octave-Forge
packages "on-the-fly" to Gentoo Linux, using Portage, Paludis or pkgcore.
It's capable to generate ebuilds and Manifest files for the packages (if
needed), and to install them using an autogenerated overlay (named g-octave).
g-octave can also handle patches to the packages automatically. The command
line interface tries to be very similar to the interface of the emerge(1)
tool.

At this moment g-octave depends on the Portage package manager to works,
but the support to Paludis and pkgcore is planned.
