Follow-up Comment #32:

The communications package is a good training for newcomers to become package
maintainers ;-)

Due to new questions on the mailing list, here the updated "getting starting
OF package building" with great thanks to John Donoghue for constantly
providing new patches for this four years outdated package.

>From some Linux terminal, inside some temporary directory, run:


hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/octave/communications
wget -O octave-5.0-3-all.patch
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/download.php?file_id=47414 
wget -O comms-hdf3.patch
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/download.php?file_id=47415 
cd communications
hg patch ../octave-5.0-3-all.patch
hg patch ../comms-hdf3.patch
make dist


Within Octave 5.1.0, change to that build directory (cd ..) and run:


pkg install -forge control
pkg install -forge signal
pkg install communications-1.2.1.tar.gz
