Debian Patches

Status for octave-io/2.6.4-3

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
commons-compress-unversioned.patch Do not search for a specific version of commons-compress java library Version 1.18 is hardcoded, but Debian currently has 1.19. Sbastien Villemot <sebastien@debian.org> not-needed 2020-03-26
conditional-java.patch Run some tests conditionally of Java being present Some (non release) architectures do not have Java support in Octave, so this
patch prevents an FTBFS on those.
We could additionally add a Build-Depends on default-jre-headless on those
architectures were Java support is there, but keeping the architecture list
in sync with the main octave package is error-prone, so we avoid it.

xmlbeans-versioned.patch Require version 3 of xmlbeans for POI+OOXML interface As of 2023-03-01, Debian unstable includes the combination of apache-poi
version 4 and xmlbeans version 4. This breaks the POI+OOXML interface (see
#1012016).
.
By requiring version 3 of xmlbeans, we ensure that the broken combination will
not happen, because it is hard for a user to understand what is going wrong.
.
In practice this means that POI+OOXML will be disabled (and the OCT interface
will be the only available one for reading .xlsx files), unless the user
manually installs xmlbeans 3.
.
As a consequence, the xlsx-poi autopkgtest has been disabled.
