I uploaded version 6.1.1~hg.2020.12.27 to experimental and checked all
the packages that build-depend on octave or dh-octave. They all build
fine against the new version of the octave package, besides
psychtoolbox-3, which has some issues. However, I just realized that
this package has never been built against octave 6. I will investigate
this later.
Since the bullseye freeze deadline is approaching, we should make a
plan regarding the uploading of this new version to unstable, as well
as those for the remaining packages which are stuck (stk, interval,
level-set and vibes).
Thanks for your work.
In my opinion, the latest version of octave could directly be uploaded
to unstable. The risk of breakage is minimal, since we’re following the
stable branch of octave.
There are at least two additional changes that I would like to make
before the bullseye release:
- reinstate the build dependency on sundials, since the latter has
migrated back to testing, and octave 6 should normally be compatible
with sundials 4
- fix upstream bug #59704, which badly impacts Dynare.¹ There is a
candidate patch, but it still needs review by other octave devs.
I will probably make those changes once the latest version of octave
migrates to testing.
