I just ran into the situation with a Julia package where testing with the version of the package obtained by Pkg.add was broken with respect to the test process. Pkg.checkout followed by Pkg.build gave me the master version which worked fine in test. Does this necessarily imply that Pkg.add is

[julia-users] Databases: Interpolation in backticks

Sometimes we need to get bits of data from databases. And one of the quick ways to do this is pass an SQL query to Mysql or Postgresql without loading up the special database specific (or not) Julia libraries. Backticks work well up to a point. For example `psql $opts -c $sql` works nicely if

The latest 0.6 is failing to build on my openSUSE system. Specifically it keeps falling over when trying to handle the files and symlinks in usr/lib for libopenlibm.* that cannot be changed. Permissions on these files seem to be ok, but the permissions in the lib directory don't look right. I

[julia-users] Julia and sshd tests

I always run Julia as non-root, so there is not much surprise when "make testall" says it cannot find sshd, which on openSUSE lives in /usr/sbin and is not accessible by non-root due to permissions. Testall by normal user bypasses the related test and continues to success. Attempting to run

One other oddity. openSUSE has a libcairo, libgobject and a libcairo-gobject. In cairo deps build.jl I can see references to cairo and gobject, but not to the third. Just looks a bit odd. On Sunday, 10 April 2016 12:25:12 UTC-4, Colin Beckingham wrote: > > Did not work. > I added
