Hi all,
I've been updating my installation of octave-forge.
Here is what has happened:
I had a existing install of previous versions of octave forge
(20070821 and 20071014) that had been installed from the single
archive distribution, via a hand coded .m file (I use this script on
several Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 machines). With 20080507 I wanted to
automate things so I don't have to hand edit for each additional pkg
added.
I had intended to have my script uninstall older (obsolete) packages,
but found no mechanism for uninstalling old packages. So I deleted
all installed packages and the corresponding octave_packages file,
and reinstalled. I found a few stray paths (see my previous email)
and realized that I had installed an useless, at least on a
Macintosh, windows pkg. I wanted to uninstall it but got the
following message:
octave:8> pkg uninstall windows
warning: some of the packages you want to uninstall are not installed.
The package,however is listed among the installed packages:
octave:7> pkg list
