[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60048] [octave forge] (fuzzy-logic-toolkit) fails to install

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #60048 (project octave):

Another aspect here is that in the Windows builds/installers a fair nr. of
Octave package are included that have been "updated" (by dedicatedly patching
them during the cross-build) so that they at least build and work with newer
Octave releases included in the Windows installers.
The main mxe-octave contributor/maintainer who does this didn't add
functionality, so functionally the pertinent packages are just like the
formally released ones. But formally they obviously aren't.

@Kai:
Crossbuilds made with "--enable-binary-packages=no" don't have cross-built &
installed OF-packages but do include ready-to-install OF packages that are
"fully" patched. Currently the nightlies are built with
"--enable-binary-packages=yes".
During the build the package are patched first and then built & installed in
the usual way.
Could the patched packages be saved and made available somewhere, and/or maybe
linked to from the OF website? Of course there may be all kind of objections
but this might help to mitigate bug reports like this one.
