[Pkg-octave-devel] Removal of packages

[Rafael Laboissiere]

Another serious candidate is the octave-fixed package:

     http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Fixed-point-arithmetic-td2284793.html

The test suite fails miserably:

     [fixedpoint]

     << Fixed Point Load Type >>
       Found Fixed Point Toolbox (version 0.7.10)

     << Fixed Point Creation >>
       Scalar Creation:                          FAILED
     PASSES 1 out of 1 tests

Moreover, the package FTBFS with texinfo 5.1.  I filed two bug reports 
with patches for fixing the building of documentation:

     https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?39178
     https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?39181
