* Sébastien Villemot <sebastien@debian.org> [2024-02-09 21:20]:I have uploaded octave 9.0.90 to experimental.The next step is to try to rebuild all packages against octave 9 (both those within and outside the DOG), and file bugs accordingly (in Debian and if needed upstream), or upload fixes if they are already available.I launched a batch for building the Octave-related packages against Octave 9. Let us see how it does.
So far, I have detected problems only in octave-sparsersb and octave-level-set. These are now fixed on unstable. There may be other packages that FTBFS against octave v9. We will see.
I also noticed that Octave 9 breaks SWIG. This would also cause FTBFS for the plplot package. I proposed a patch upstream: https://github.com/swig/swig/pull/2799
