[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59821] "pkg update" ignores previous package version to be global or local

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #18, bug #59821 (project octave):

Ooh, sloppy on the typos sorry.  Need a notepad++ spellcheck. 

The originating issue was more that pkg update (actually pkg install) now
actually obeyed the same global/local default check on Windows as Linux, and
it was an unexpected change on windows. Looking at comment #6 changeset it
seems windows previously just defaulted always to global, and that FIXME was
finally fixed :). 

How about just "pkg update on windows unexpectedly installs packages to
local?" not terribly important since I think this bug got more life than it
really warranted anyway.

Is the hope to get your pkg work in for v7? I was thinking the options for pkg
update might be a quick patch on the hg repo, but don't want to split the
effort.
