academic/octave-forge: Removed (unmaintained upstream)
From: Binh Nguyen <bnguyen@gmx.com> Subject: Re: [Slackbuilds-users] Orphaned packages Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2012 16:37:09 +0700 This bundle package currently not completely build on -current and is listed on Checklist.txt. The last version was released a few years ago and now becomes very obsolete. Since upstream does not release bundle anymore, unless somebody interested in this steps up and do something about it, it should be removed. Individual extras can be installed from the Octave prompt.

-This is a script to package Octave-Forge, the main source for
-out-of-mainline Octave packages.
-
-The Octave-Forge packages are grouped into four categories (main,
-extra, language and nonfree). By default the script packages all of
-them, but you can specify a different behavior with the REPOS
-variable. For example,
- REPOS=main,extra ./octave-forge.SlackBuild
-will build only the "main" and "extra" repositories.
-Parallel compilation is not supported.
-
-Some packages have dependencies on external components that are not
-available on stock Slackware or SlackBuilds.org. These components
-(and, more generally, packages failing compilation) are automatically
-excluded from the package.
-
-If you want to build a newer version of Octave-Forge, you need to
-regenerate the Octave script that performs the build itself. To do
-this, run generate-installscript.sh after updating the usual variables
-near the beginning.
-
-Note: on package removal, you should run as root:
- mkdir -p /usr/share/octave/packages && \
- octave --silent --eval "pkg rebuild"
