Concerning the
dependencies, the DESCRIPTION file only mentions "octave
(>= 2.9.7)".
a) Can you really build on such an old release of Octave? Can
anyone try
on 3.8.x? 3.6.x?
I just tried on 3.4.6 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6) and it seems to
build just fine. But, I noticed that the version of gsl (1.13) is
a bit too old for the wrappers to build, since some function APIs
have changed in GSL 2.
How can you tell that it builds just fine if the version of gsl is
too old for your wrappers to actually build?
Anyway, this is certainly not the most pressing issue... But, unless
we have a specific reason to require, say, Octave >= 3.2.0 or
octave >= 3.4.0, why not simply remove this octave dependency
from DESCRIPTION and wait for some to complain (which might very
well never happen)?
@all: is there a general policy about that for OF packages?
