Could you please state what's wrong with the old ebuild and, if you think you can provide an improved one, attach it or even better: attach a patch?

Thank you.

This is the only significant difference between the attached ebuild and the
current one in the tree:

-       sed -e 's:a"key":a["key"]:' -i configure || die "sed failed on configure"
-       sed -e 's:\(^man1dir = \):\1$(DESTDIR)/:;
-s:$(bindir):$(DESTDIR)/$(bindir):' -i extra/mex/Makefile \
-                || die "sed failed on mex/Makefile"
+       epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PV}.patch
+
+       # make it compile when X isn't installed. The source file there really
+       # doesn't need X at all.
+       # 02 Feb 2005, Robin H. Johnson <[e-mail]>
+       sed -e '/#include <X11/d' -i ${S}/main/audio/aurecord.cc

The X stuff was added later and IIRC the patch was put there to solve the same
problem as the sed mex stuff.  Again, IIRC the sed key stuff is no longer
necessary in the current octave-forge versions in the tree.

Close this as invalid.

It does not apply to the newer versions already in the tree,.
