Give it a go! I picked 5 random octave-* ports (irsa, specfun, strings, ?don't remember?) and tried to install them (10.8.3 all latest); 4 installed. Of those 4, I've figured out how to use 2 of them (they "just work"). The other 2 do not seem to work for me -- but, I've never used add-ons to octave so I'm having to learn how to do that. From what I read online, and looking at the Octave PortGroup, each of these port's addons should be registered with octave when the port is activated (and, unregistered when deactivated) -- or, that's my guess. So, they truly should "just work" when active. I don't know why 2 do not seem to work; I don't know enough about the octave addon activation process yet. So, from this small random sampling my vote is to not move octave-devel to octave just yet, but first for someone to go through and make sure all of the current octave-* ports install and work correctly with octave-devel. I will have some time to do this in a few weeks, maybe. Maybe somebody else has time sooner? - MLD _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
