g-octave [options] <package_name | package_name-version>
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.
g-octave can use any of the 3 package managers available to Gentoo Linux: Portage, Paludis and Pkgcore.
