Source: octave-signal
Architecture: source
Version: 1.4.4-1
Distribution: experimental
Note that it failed to build on many architectures.
Some unit tests for firpm are failing on those architectures. The
function firpm has been introduced in version 1.4.4. It is implemented in
file src/firpm.cc, which calls the C file src/mmfir.c. This is a new
implementation of McClellan-Parks-Rabiner method for designing FIR
filters using the minimax technique. It is intended to replace the remez
function, which is also on the signal package.
These files were proposed by Rob Sykes back in 2014 and have only been
integrated into the signal package in 2023 (see [1]). I would guess that
the author of the files, as well as the maintainers of the signal
package, did not test the new code on the problematic architectures.
I do not have time to debug this issue.
Any ideas on how to proceed ?
