check-in request: octave-devel 3.3.90 revision

[lukas.reichlin@…]

I updated the octave-devel Portfile to revision 1. The file is attached to this ticket.

The README.MacOS thread (and other Mac-related ones) on
​https://mailman.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/octave-maintainers/2011-January/thread.html
might be of interest.

Can you please summarize why these changes are necessary and what they do? Yes, I've read through the supporting bug ticket & other documents, but I'd appreciate knowing what these changes do with whatever brevity you can afford.

[lukas.reichlin@…]

3.3.90_0 has 52 failing tests, 3.3.90_1 only 2. See README.MacOS post from Jarno.

Fixed in r75513. I also cleaned up the Portfile a bit. AFAICT, adding "FDFLAGS=.../libstdc++..." just adds that library to that linked with the 'octave' executable. This library is already referenced from the Octave libraries (${prefix}/lib/octave/lib*), which are in turn referenced by both ${prefix}/bin/octave as well as the various SO's in ${prefix}/libexec/octave/3.3.90/oct/x86_64-apple-darwin10.6.0/ ... So, if adding in this flag somehow works "better" than without then I'm all for using it. But I don't understand how it helps. That said, I also haven't tried the various instructions you provide in the octave bug ticket -- so I'll just take your word that it help ;)

octave-devel 3.3.91_0

[lukas.reichlin@…]

I've just added a modified Portfile for octave-devel 3.3.91. There are no changes besides checksums and the version number.

[michaelld@…]

Done in r75587. Next time, please open a new ticket; yes, I know it's "wasteful", but it's "the right way" to do things, FBoFW.
