Todays topics

Octave 6 blockers

  • Bug #57439 function handles to private functions
    • Does it cause the MS Windows slowdown? (probably yes)
    • Timeline for fix? No.
    • Ideas for a fix on jwe's private dev repo (link?)
  • Bug #57591 crash during graphics generation / run of test suite
    • Use Buildbot to track?
    • Nobody knows the cause of these random, non-reproducible crashes.

Referencing packages

  • Image package now uploaded to Zenodo, linked with OrcID
  • How to probably credit authors / contributors.

Development image

  • Would there be value to a development VM or other type of image to provide a standard environment?
    • currently a Docker exists with the latest build for usage/testing
    • if a VM, what is the minimal sized setup to make it useful/effective
  • Could instructions on the Wiki provide this purpose?
    • WSL and instructions might provide a development path for windows users
    • if instructions are enough, would instructions for a user to get and setup a VM or WSL enough to remove need to host a VM?

Ideas for next meeting

Topic suggestions

  • Focus specifically on Octave 6 release status?

Other
