Since arpack installs a dynamic library, its BUILDLINK_DEPMETHOD
shouldn't be set to "build" by default.
Bump PKGREVISION of octave for its runtime dependency change.
File too long (should be no more than 24 lines).
Line too long (should be no more than 80 characters).
Trailing empty lines.
Trailing white-space.
Trucated the long files as best as possible while preserving the most info
contained in them.

ARPACK is a collection of Fortran77 subroutines designed to solve large
scale eigenvalue problems.
The package is designed to compute a few eigenvalues and corresponding
eigenvectors of a general n by n matrix A. It is most appropriate for large
sparse or structured matrices A where structured means that a matrix-vector
product w <- Av requires order n rather than the usual order n**2 floating
point operations. This software is based upon an algorithmic variant of the
Arnoldi process called the Implicitly Restarted Arnoldi Method (IRAM). When
the matrix A is symmetric it reduces to a variant of the Lanczos process
called the Implicitly Restarted Lanczos Method (IRLM). These variants may be
viewed as a synthesis of the Arnoldi/Lanczos process with the Implicitly
Shifted QR technique that is suitable for large scale problems. For many
standard problems, a matrix factorization is not required. Only the action
of the matrix on a vector is needed. ARPACK software is capable of solving
large scale symmetric, nonsymmetric, and generalized eigenproblems from
significant application areas. The software is designed to compute a few (k)
eigenvalues with user specified features such as those of largest real part
or largest magnitude. Storage requirements are on the order of n*k locations.
No auxiliary storage is required. A set of Schur basis vectors for the desired
k-dimensional eigen-space is computed which is numerically orthogonal to working
precision. Numerically accurate eigenvectors are available on request.
Important Features:
o Reverse Communication Interface.
o Single and Double Precision Real Arithmetic Versions for Symmetric,
Non-symmetric, Standard or Generalized Problems.
o Single and Double Precision Complex Arithmetic Versions for Standard
or Generalized Problems.
o Routines for Banded Matrices - Standard or Generalized Problems.
o Routines for The Singular Value Decomposition.
o Example driver routines that may be used as templates to implement
numerous Shift-Invert strategies for all problem types, data types
and precision.
