[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59821] [octave forge] (ga) pkg update with ga 0.10.2 installs in user home folder instead of packages folder on windows

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #59821 (project octave):

2nd - trying to understand how my 'pkg update -global' command from comment #9
worked. global_install is not set as global or persistent (if I understand
persistent right within context of recursive functions).  but after 'pkg
update' builds its list and calls each 'pkg install', it does not pass the
'-global' option.  it just calls

feval (@pkg, "install", "-forge", installed_pkg_name);

so now I'm not quite sure why running 'pkg update -global' worked to update
the global packages the last time, when it did a local update the first time.
The only automatic check for global_install is the __is_elevated_process__
check. 

what am i missing?
