[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #39479] 'pkg -forge list' takes 56.5 seconds

[Andrew Janke]

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #39479 (project octave):

How about a good ol' CSV file with a column header line? That will be easy to
parse, and forward-compatible for extensibility by adding additional columns.

file #46032 is an example CSV package list file.

file #46030 is a patch to modify Octave to use it. It includes a
`setappdata(0, 'forge.base_url' 'file://...')` back door to use for local
testing. Doing this also removes the need to scrape the HTML for individual
package pages to get their current version.

file #46031:  gen_forge_package_list.m will generate that CSV file using the
current Octave pkg code.
