Bug 728639

I don't have a 32-bit machine so that I could reproduce this. However, I've built 3.4.2 in rawhide. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3255918

Getting 3.4.2 in F15 (and F16) is going to require some amount of work, since the API version has somehow been rolled back from 47 to 45, and so all 7 packages that build against octave have to be rebuilt.

Thanks, but the latter link says "failed". Or am I misinterpreting it the page?

then log in and leave karma (feedback).

OK, thanks. I'll get it when I can see it in the repos.

OK, I installed the packages (which were fc15, not 16) which seem to work fine. I've tested it on the code that used to fail, and some other code, and it seems to be working as well as my manual installation. 

Thanks! 

Minor things: 

I get this warning from Octave: 
warning: dispatch is obsolete and will be removed from a future version of Octave; please use classes instead

and I notice that the packages
octave-quaternion.noarch  1.0.0-2.fc15               updates         
octave-specfun.i686       1.0.9-2.fc15               updates         
octave-struct.i686        1.0.9-3.fc15               updates         

have not been updated (which doesn't worry me right now) 

Mike

The warning comes from something from octave-forge?

The other packages have not been rebuilt since they do not contain any binary parts. If they aren't up-to-date, you can file bugs against the packages.

octave-quaternion installs OK, but 
octave-specfun, octave-struct get upset about the libraries:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

similar for octave-struct
----------------

Good catch. Those packages weren't complying to the guidelines, so they were missing some dependencies and I didn't pick them up. Fixes and rebuilds coming up soon.

Okay. I've now managed to fix and rebuild octave-{struct,specfun} against the new version and added them to the updates bunch. They should appear in the repositories in the next push to updates-testing.

OK, thanks. I'll test those out when they appear. 

Do you have any idea where this error message on startup comes from: 
---------------
dispatch is obsolete and will be removed from a future version of Octave; please use classes instead
---------------
I don't get this when I compile it myself, and I can't figure out where it is being called...

OK, I've successfully installed octave-specfun and octave-struct from updates-testing and done some minimal testing. The ODE package relies on struct, and that installs and runs, so it seems to all be working.

When updating to the version of octave in updates-testing, I get the following errors.

Some other packages I can find: qtoctave, csdp-octave do not seem to have issues.

Again a missing dependency on octave(api). Fixed build coming up soon. That should be the last of them.

Thanks. I have found no other problems. I can build packages from octave-forge and have been doing various calculations with no problems.

Thanks again Jussi, 

I've now got all "*octave*" packages installed with no conflicts. I tried running some functions from pfstools and plplot and they didn't fall over, but I'll have to leave it to users of those packages to test them seriously. 

yum list --enablerepo=updates-testing "*octave*"
