There is a 3.6.x (no GUI) PPA at https://launchpad.net/~mtmiller/+archive/octave
There is a 3.7.x (latest development version, GUI) at hg. Instructions here: http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Building-the-Development-Sources.html#Building-the-Development-Sources

I've just recently upgraded to the new Ubuntu, and Octave 3.6.2 comes with
it.  QtOctave no longer works.  I've been using gedit together with the
terminal, but the whole process is pretty unsatisfying.  I miss F9
functionality to run things line by line, and F5 functionality to run a
whole script.  I also like to use GUI's for commands that it is difficult to
remember the syntax for, because the syntax gets popped out into the
terminal emulator.  Somehow the terminal is slower as well -- it has weird
behavior with parentheses.  And I need to hit shift-control-v to paste into
it.  There is also a lot of needless mousing between the editor and the
terminal.

When is the new gui gong to come out on a Ubuntu (debian) repository?
Alternatively, if compiling the source is easy, perhaps you could give
people some easy step-by-step instructions for doing so?

Thanks to all who put Octave together.  I wish I had the skills to do much
besides use your product and complain.
