[Pkg-octave-devel] Updating the OF package for Octave 4.0
Those who are subscribed to pkg-octave-commit have probably seen many
commits that I did recently. Most of them regard adaptation of the OF
packages to Octave 4.0. The majority of packages are now in good shape,
but some of them still have problems:
octave-nurbs: one of the unit tests fails, but this does not seem
critical.
octave-mpi: The package works correctly, but the helloworld example
makes Octave segfault.
octave-msh: The packages builds correctly, but the unit tests that
depend on libdolfin fail. I tried to build the package against libdolfin
1.4, with no sucess.
octave-dataframe: The single unit test fails and I suspect that there
are incompatibilities with Octave 4.0.
In commit 231a2c2, I added libsndfile1-dev and portaudio19-dev to the
Build-Depends list of octave. With this changes, the audio support
functions are now fully functional. Besides that, this is necessary for
having the octave-ltfat building correctly.
We still have to check the non-OF packages, but I think that we will be
ready to start the 3.8->4.0 transition as soon as the new octave package
comes out from the NEW queue.
Best,
Rafael
