[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #39479] 'pkg -forge list' takes 56.5 seconds

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #39479 (project octave):

For testing, I don't think you need to clone Octave Forge.  The suggestion was
that there be a unique URL that points to a file (format still undetermined)
which can be fetched with urlread.  This file is then parsed locally and
displayed to the user.

For prototyping, you can just skip the urlread and have a local file that you
load() or otherwise read.  The code that needs to be written would then format
and display this information.  The suggestion was made either to use a struct
variable saved in Octave's native text format, or possibly in the format in
~/.octave_packages which seems to be a cell array.
