[MacPorts] #28351: Octave 3.4.0 released
#28351: Octave 3.4.0 released --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: lukas.reichlin@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I modified the octave-devel Portfile for Octave 3.4.0. However, it should be released as octave, not octave-devel. There are still issues with plotting, command "figure" leads to "warning: no graphical display found". Furthermore, I released my control-2.0.0 package. You can install it by[[BR]] {{{ pkg install -forge control }}} inside Octave.[[BR]] {{{ test_control }}} must not fail. If it does, it's due to erroneous Atlas/Lapack settings. The file "README.MacOS" from[[BR]] [http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/][[BR]] might be of interest.

If this is more based on the octave-devel port than the octave port, feel free to base your patch off the octave-devel port. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28351#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

I don't see any issue with just keeping updating octave-devel; it does the same thing as "octave", just with a different version. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28351#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Hopefully it is due to a lack of manpower, not a lack of interest. [[BR]] '''@ryandesign:''' IIRC it is based on my Octave 3.3.92 Portfile. Given the fact that diff and FileMerge are able to compare one file to any other, creating a patch to any existing Portfile you like should not be an issue. [[BR]] '''@michaelld:''' Octave 3.4.0 fixes some long-standing bugs. Personally I rely on two of these fixes. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28351#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Posting a diff will help move this along. It saves time for the committers and makes us more likely to commit it. Especially given that the maintainer is not responding. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28351#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Diff attached, for the sake of posterity (I'm going to move to octave- devel). Diff is against octave-devel, and is trivial (minimum necessary to download and verify the sources, and identify the version). The octave-devel Portfile looks cleaner to me at a glance, but it is substantially different, not only to support additional dependencies of octave 3.4, but also in its internal port logic (eg, variants). I can understand the reluctance of the octave maintainer to make the jump without careful review (if that's why the delays). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28351#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
