[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44548] pkg install defaults to global in Microsoft Windows

[Markus Mützel]

Update of bug #44548 (project octave):

                  Status:               Confirmed => Ready For Test

Follow-up Comment #15:

I pushed a change here that makes "pkg install" default to "-global" if Octave
is running with elevated privileges on Windows and to "-local" otherwise:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/baf16e6f498b

I think this is the closest we can get to the behavior on Linux.
With that change, I see the following:

>> pkg install -forge geometry
clipper.cpp: In function 'void ClipperLib::InitEdge(ClipperLib::TEdge*,
ClipperLib::TEdge*, ClipperLib::TEdge*, const ClipperLib::IntPoint&)':
clipper.cpp:750:34: warning: 'void* memset(void*, int, size_t)' clearing an

 value-initialization instead [-Wclass-memaccess]

For information about changes from previous versions of the geometry package,
run 'news geometry'.


After this, the "geometry" package is installed in
%USERPROFILE%\octave\geometry-4.0.0.

Previously, the installation failed due to missing write permissions for the
global packages store.

Marking as ready for test.
