Revision as of 17:56, 22 March 2024

Today's topics

  • Timing for next bugfix release
    • bug #65476 (`mkoctfile -p LIBS` includes unnecessary libraries)
  • OctConf 2024
  • Roadmap and priorities for Octave 10
    • Which important features to focus on for Octave 10?
  • Discuss a potential timeline for native string class support

Previous topics

  • Status of 9.1 Release
    • Are there remaining blocker bugs? -- None. In case of issues, a version 9.2 could be released early.
    • Do we issue a second release candidate (RC2)? -- No RC2. jwe will proceed to create a release tarball for Octave 9.1 and the Windows installers shortly.
  • Common id tag for developer of Octave packages in AppStream Metainfo files?
    • Should they use a different tag from the identifier of core Octave? See core patch and package change/discussion
    • Conclusions: no strong feelings. Each package should generally decide what they want: if they feel that id="octave.org" and <name>Octave Community</name> describes their community, that's probably fine. If in doubt, just ask.
  • How to handle pull requests for the mirror on GitHub?
  • New bug reports on Savannah for packages should be tagged by the package name in parenthesis at the start of the report title. E.g., "(statistics) some error" (i.e., no longer prepend with "[octave forge]"). Also, set the report category to "Octave package". Try to CC package developers.
