[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60048] [octave forge] (fuzzy-logic-toolkit) fails to install

[Tasos Papastylianou]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #60048 (project octave):

Hi Kai. I spotted this bug after the discussion here
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57509510/fuzzy-logic-toolkit-install-problem-in-octave?noredirect=1#comment117003208_57509510
where this user also posted a comment there along the same lines.

While I agree with you that Seamus's frustration probably got the better of
him slightly, please note that the original post he commented on on
StackOverflow is almost 2 years old!

It appears John Donoghue who fixed the bug on the development repository,
hasn't actually updated the *package* release itself. Which means users who
have tried to install this package via forge have been hit with the same error
message for the last 2 years.

There is even a frustrated "1 out of 5 stars" not-so-recent message on the
project's webpage on sourceforge with the same message.

It is weird that this bug has not been addressed after all this time,
especially when it has already been fixed in dev 2 years ago!

So therefore, while I acknowledge that Seamus's tone may have come across as a
bit rude, I don't think simply schooling him and closing this ticket is the
appropriate response either.

Could you perhaps notify John (or anyone with maintenance access) to convert
the development to a 0.4.6 release? I think at the very least this ticket
should remain open until this has taken place, and only closed with an
appropriate response here that this has now taken place. After all, bug #53549
is about the bug in the *code*, whereas *this* bug is about the package still
not being updated and thus causing installation to fail. 

Many thanks.
