+This is a script to package Octave-Forge, the main source for
+out-of-mainline Octave packages.
+
+The Octave-Forge packages are grouped into four categories (main,
+extra, language and nonfree). By default the script packages all of
+them, but you can specify a different behavior with the REPOS
+variable. For example,
+  REPOS=main,extra ./octave-forge.SlackBuild
+will build only the "main" and "extra" repositories.
+Parallel compilation (JOBS=...) is not supported.
+
+If you want to build a newer version of Octave-Forge, you need to
+regenerate the Octave script that performs the build itself. To do
+this, run generate-installscript.sh after updating the usual variables
+near the beginning.
+
+This script requires Octave, available on SlackBuilds.org.
+Some packages also have dependencies on external components, not
+available on stock Slackware or SlackBuilds.org. These components
+(and, more generally, packages failing compilation) are automatically
+excluded from the package.
+
+Note: on package removal, you should run as root:
+  mkdir -p /usr/share/octave/packages && \
+  octave --silent --eval "pkg rebuild"

+#   in directories named `uname -m`-*. This is just cosmetic, as ARCH
+#   is actually used to set compiler flags and you really get i486
+#   binaries.
+# - On package removal, you should run as root:
+#     mkdir -p /usr/share/octave/packages && octave --silent --eval "pkg rebuild"
+#   or Octave will be left in an incorrect state.
+# - No JOBS support.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
+# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must make
+# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also customary to
+# leave one space after the ':'.
