From: "JohnD" Date: 5/2/2018 11:24 PM Just for info, I just ran through most of the packages on octave forge, trying to install them on my fedora box with octave 4.4 The result of just trying to install them (after installing their dependencies) is below. Where a package wouldn't install from octave forge, I also tried the latest code of the repo, and where that also failed, tried to identify (or create) a bug report. In general packages were installed as pkg install -verbose -forge -nodeps May 31st Marco Atzeri some additional test on cygwin Name | Rel Version | released | -forge | repo inst | bug report | notes ============================================================================ ============== bim | 1.1.5 | 10/17/2014 | y | | | bsltl | 1.1.1 | 9/7/2016 | y | | | cgi | 0.1.2 | 9/7/2016 | y | | | communications | 1.2.1 | 4/4/2015 | n | n | 46521, 45856 | cant find config.h, dep warnings control | 3.1.0 | 3/11/2018 | y | | | depreciated warnings control | 3.1.0 | 3/11/2018 | y(cyg) | | | test bstmodred.m .....fatal: caught signal Aborted data-smoothing | 1.3.0 | 3/1/2012 | y | | | database | 2.4.2 | 9/18/2016 | n | n | 53812 | cant convert octave_value_list to octave_value database | 2.4.3 | 2018-05-18 | y (cyg) | | | Build with postgresql 10.4.
