For information, we are going to update the Debian versions on the servers when Stephane comes back from vacation at the end of August. When this is done, the Octave version will be changed. Best, Houtan On 07/31/2015 11:22 AM, Michel Juillard wrote:

The tests are run on karaba where Octave 3.6.2 is installed. This should be changed as we don't intend to support previous versions of Octave.

I would suggest to only support Octave 4.0.0 that is readily available for Windows and Linux (OS/X seems a bit more complicate)

With Octave 4.0.0, there seems to be several issues. I have already solved one linked to a bug in linsolve, but there are others.

Does anyone know where the unit test crashes in Octave for many files comes from? They all have similar issues with check_matlab_path.m. The message always is some variant of:

I cannot replicate it under Windows with Octave 3.8.2. Thus, I don't know whether it is Linux or Octave 3.6 on Karaba that is causing the issue.

Thanks Sebastien Michel Sébastien Villemot writes:

Note that after upgrading Karaba to Debian Jessie, it will have Octave 3.8, not 4.0 (which is only available in Debian testing/sid).

My personal take would be to drop support for Octave 3.6 as soon as Karaba is upgraded (on the master branch), but to keep support for Octave 3.8 and 4.0 for the time being.

I am willing to help maintain compatibility with these two versions if needed.
