Follow-up Comment #45, bug #59426 (project octave): OT: IIUC, MXE Octave was never thought to manage different versions of the same package. It's designed to easily allow (cross-)building of a set of packages without depending too much on any tools or dependencies installed on the build system. And does a good job at that task. It doesn't have a package manager. So once a package was built and installed there is no (standard) way of uninstalling that package. It doesn't include any rules for the various upgrade and downgrade scenarios (and I'd say that would be out of scope for such a project). Some version changes might work "accidentally" (because all files from the installation of the previous version are overwritten). But there's no guarantee for that. Adding a package manager to MXE Octave would be a huge undertaking (speaking of time and energy). That would basically require a re-design of how MXE Octave is working at the moment. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59426> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
