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

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #13, bug #60048 (project octave):

@Kai, comment #8:
If mxe-octave builds are made with --enable-binary-packages=yes", well, then
updated binary packages are included in the build, installed and all, but not
produced as tarballs. All the user needs to do to use package <package> is
"pkg load <package>".

However, if built with "--enable-binary-packages=no", Octave does build
updated packages as tarballs but doesn't install them. After installation of
the Octave binary the user must first run "build_packages" and then Octave
will install them one by one (could take some time).
So in this case fully updated packages are created. But mind you, AFAIK only
updated in the sense of "compatible with the bundled Octave release" - it's
not so that development snapshots of OF packages are created.

So the infrastructure for updating packages is in place, but is used only when
no binary packages are built.
I think (could be wrong though) that the relevant stuff is in
binary-dist-rules.mk
