[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62090] [octave forge] (io) Installation fails with spaces in path

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #22, bug #62090 (project octave):

> Fun fact: The installation is now performed locally even after reinstalling
octave for "all users". Is this an intended behavior?

That has been changed a while ago for bug #44548 to align Windows with all
other platforms.

I'm not sure what you mean though. Intended behavior is that packages are
installed locally unless Octave is executed with elevated privileges or the
user passes the "-global" switch explicitly. Locally installed packages are
retained even if Octave is un-installed or re-installed.


Octave 6 is end-of-life already and will soon be superseded by Octave 7. We
probably won't re-open development of Octave 6 for this change.
