[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#669231: RM: octave-parallel -- ROM; testsuite randomly crashes on some arches; similar functionality (soon to be) provided by octave-openmpi-ext
Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
The testsuite of this packages crashes randomly, see [1] and [2]. In
particular, this is blocking the octave transition [3].
Also, the (upcoming) octave-openmpi-ext package [4] provides similar
functionality using the more mature MPI interface.
We may reintroduce the package in the future if sufficient interest is
expressed and the random failures are fixed.
Thanks,
