[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47032] missing matlab datetime, duration, calendarDuration, and related functions

[Andrew Janke]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #47032 (project octave):

Hi folks.

I've written an implementation for datetime and friends:

* https://github.com/apjanke/octave-addons-chrono

It includes datetime, duration, and calendarDuration, and time zones are
supported. Basic functionality is there, though it still needs a lot of work.

Code works on Octave 4.0.0 and later, though the `pkg install ...` bit needs
Octave 4.4.x to work. Tested on a few combinations of macOS/Linux/Windows and
Octave 4.0/4.2/4.4.

The code is an original work by me, GPLv3+. Thanks to Mike Miller for giving
me an example of how an Octave pkg project repo layout works. It also includes
redistributions of the IANA Time Zone Database (Public Domain) and the Unicode
CLDR windowsZones.xml file (Unicode license); I think these are compatible
with Octave's GPL licensing.

I have a Matlab license but this work was produced entirely with Octave, other
Free software, and reference to publicly available documentation.

I welcome feedback and bug reports, either here or at
https://github.com/apjanke/octave-addons-chrono/issues.

My hope is that this project can work its way through being an independent
project, and External package on Octave Forge, and official Octave Forge
package, and eventual inclusion in base Octave. Unless y'all have a better
approach.
