OTOH, the MacPort project as both a stable and a devel version of
octave. Installing octave is just a matter of typing:
sudo port -v install octave-devel
in a terminal. Actually, the 'dmg' target works too ("port dmg
octave-devel'), but this requires an app called "PackageMaker.App",
for which I didn't manage to find a source, even on the Apple
Development Center.
