#13332: octave: update to 2.9.17 --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@macports.org | Owner: stechert@macports.org Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Updates Component: ports | Version: 1.5.2 Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by alakazam@melix.net): I worked a bit on updating octave to version 3.0.0 this weekend. I will not have time until next weekend to continue working on this, so I am uploading a partially updated patch file so as to log my progress and enable people wishing to help out to contribute. Should we open a new ticket, and close this one, or update the description, since we will probably be going directly to version 3.0.0 instead of 2.9.17 ? The Portfile I am uploading updates version numbers and checksums for version 3.0.0, and improves whitespace formatting. Compiling without the configure phase patches does not work because of lcamd. The configure phase patches need to be updated for octave's new configure script in order to fix this. The livecheck regexp probably no longer works, and was based on the wording of the release announcements, which does not seem very robust (as illustrated by its failing due to the formulation of the latest news on the octave homepage). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13332#comment:8> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
