Right, but to what URL should I point my TortoiseSVN client to be able 
to commit changes?

I used to be able to commit changed files directly to the individual 
package directories at
https://octave.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/octave/trunk/octave-forge/main/io

Currently I only get:
"Unable to connect to a repository at URL 
'https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/code/11246/tree/trunk/octave-forge/main/io'
Repository moved temporarily to 
'http://sourceforge.net/p/octave/code/11246/tree/trunk/octave-forge/main/io'; 
please relocate"

I've "relocated" (changed URL) quite a bit but no luck.

Thanks,

Philip

It appears to work if i install with gnuplot option instead of default qt options...


Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Sometimes (often) it may help to google around a bit before asking, e.g. 
for  "closerequestfcn octave".

If you would have done so, you'd have found this:

Re: [OctDev] geometry 1.6.0 released

[Rafael L. <ra...@la...>]

> a new release of the geometry package is out, version 1.6.0, by Juan 
> Carbajal. Enjoy Octave responsibly.

Thanks for this new release.  When trying to build the Debian package 
for geometry, I have found two problems in the tarball:

1) The directories src/octclip/ and inst/octclip/src/ seem to be 
duplicated.  I think that the second one should be removed from the 
tarball.

2) The file _oc_polybool.oct is correctly built but does not get 
installed into the architecture-dependent directory.  The very thin patch 
attached below fixes the problem.  It simply copies the file from 
src/octclip/ into src/, after its compilation.  That may not be an 
elegant way of addressing this issue but it works, at least.

Please, fix these issues in the next release.

Do you know why are you the third person this week to ask this
question? Are you all taking a course together or something? We
haven't had this question in a while, and suddenly three people ask in
the same week.

At any rate, as I answered earlier, I will write something about it.
But in the meantime, there isn't much detail.

Hi Phuong

your question should have been made to one of the octave core mailing
list, probably maintainers. See
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/get-involved.html You have e-mailed
the Octave Forge mailing list which is a sister project of GNU Octave
(we develop packages for Octave).

Anyway, about your question see
http://wiki.octave.org/FAQ#How_can_I_get_involved_in_Octave_development.3F
Basically, look into the etc/HACKING file after you cloned the
repository.

But a binary package should exist for it. I expect it would be named
something like octave-image from Sivahari's rpm or apt distribution.

We really should encourage people to install binary packages first
before we tell them to attempt to compile from source.

I thought the plotting was fixed, but apparently it wasn't.
http://octave.sourceforge.net/geometry/function/drawCylinder.html

This function uses fltk to generate the plot, but for some reason
generate_html is not getting them.

[OctDev] Fwd: Connectionists: Information Theoretical Estimators Toolbox

[Juan P. C. <car...@if...>]

fyi,


---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Zoltan Szabo <sz...@cs...>
Date: Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 7:44 PM
Subject: Connectionists: Information Theoretical Estimators Toolbox
To: con...@cs...


Dear Connectionist-ers,

We are pleased to announce our recently released ITE (Information
Theoretical Estimators) toolbox.

The ITE package could be of interest to many of you: the estimation of
information theoretical quantities (entropy, mutual information,
divergence) plays a central role in numerous important
problems of computational neuroscience.

Unfortunately, available packages focus on (i) discrete variables, or
(ii) quite specialized applications and information theoretical
estimation methods. To fill in this serious gap, we have recently
released ITE (i) a highly modular, (ii) free and open source, (iii)
multi-platform toolbox package, which

1. is capable of estimating many different variants of entropy, mutual
information and divergence measures.

2. offers a simple and unified framework to (a) easily construct new
estimators from existing ones or from scratch, and (b) transparently
use the obtained estimators in information theoretical optimization
problems.

3. with a prototype application in a central problem family of signal
processing, independent subspace analysis and its extensions.

The homepage of ITE is "https://bitbucket.org/szzoli/ite/". Feel free
to use it.

Best,

Zoltan ("http://nipg.inf.elte.hu/szzoli")

It might be just a problem with my browsers cache, but in package help files I still get the old link, see for example:

what happens if you click on "SVN" from that page?

I don't think this is necessary. I believe the attached script fixed
