Todays topics[edit]
- Meet and greet 5 minutes before meeting (audio testing).
Octave 6 release status[edit]
Octave 6 release in November (tentative)
- What is left to be done?
- Complete items in 6.1 Release Checklist
- There are 13 bugs marked for 6.0.9x release candidates (see bug overview page)
- For the Octave 6 release this number has not necessarily to be 0
- Developers should go through this list and focus on the relevant ones:
- #59206 "crash during matrix multiplication (Win only)"
- Very important probably an OpenBLAS issue.
- #59331 "Processor load stays up after `__run_test_suite__`"
- Still investigating.
- #57591 "Segmentation faults when running the test suite (mostly with clang)"?
- jwe reported he has a trace log to get to the bottom of it.
- #59206 "crash during matrix multiplication (Win only)"
Broken packages in MXE Octave[edit]
- Should there be a grace period for package maintainers to adapt to Octave 6 before the 6.1 release?
- Release is scheduled for November.
- Active package maintainers already up-to-date.
- Only contact package maintainers who's packages currently fail:
- Many broken packages cannot identified in MXE Octave builds.
- jwe? reported that some packages intentionally deactivate warnings about deprecated functions until it is "too late" and the package no longer builds. Please do not do this.
Octave Buildbot (Kai)[edit]
- https://octave.space
- Build artifacts are hosted on a private server in Germany (IONOS VPS M, 80 GB SSD, No traffic limit)
- Possibility to advertise this page as "Nightly builds" (May I do this? 🙂)
- System (1 master, 4 worker) builds once per day the Octave stable branch (if changes happened)
- Octave tarballs (gz, lz, xz)
- Documentation (manual, Doxygen) can be viewed on the site
- All MXE flavors (32, 64, 64-64)
- Some article about octave-buildbot.
- Source & development: https://github.com/gnu-octave/octave-buildbot
Ideas for next meeting[edit]
