Package: octave Version: 3.8.2-4 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
the size of a single Octave array cannot exceed 2 GB of memory because octave is not built with "--enable-64" flag Additional info: http://wiki.octave.org/Enable_large_arrays:_Build_octave_such_that_it_can_use_arrays_larger_than_2Gb www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Compiling-Octave-with-64_002dbit-Indexing.html http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-octave-devel/2013-May/010083.html It appears this will require 64-bit versions of at least ATLAS, qrupdate and suitesparse as well. There is a recent blog post about an "Octave with 64-bit indexing" built on Ubuntu 14.04: http://calaba.tumblr.com/post/107087607479/octave-64 The guy explains well why the need of 64-bit indexing, especially for stuff around big data analysis. He is even providing a github repository about this octave recompilation: https://github.com/calaba/octave-3.8.2-enable-64-ubuntu-14.04 Maybe it can help progressing on Debian side ? -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages octave depends on: ii default-jre-headless 2:1.7-52 ii libamd2.3.1 1:4.2.1-3 ii libarpack2 3.1.5-3 ii libatlas3-base [liblapack.so.3] 3.10.2-7 ii libblas3 [libblas.so.3] 1.2.20110419-10 ii libc6 2.19-13 ii libcamd2.3.1 1:4.2.1-3 ii libccolamd2.8.0 1:4.2.1-3 ii libcholmod2.1.2 1:4.2.1-3 ii libcolamd2.8.0 1:4.2.1-3 ii libcxsparse3.1.2 1:4.2.1-3 ii libfftw3-double3 3.3.4-2 ii libfftw3-single3 3.3.4-2 ii libfltk-gl1.3 1.3.2-6+b1 ii libfltk1.3 1.3.2-6+b1 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.3 ii libfreetype6 2.5.2-2 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.1-19 ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 10.3.2-1 ii libglpk36 4.55-1 ii libglu1-mesa [libglu1] 9.0.0-2 ii libgomp1 4.9.1-19 ii libgraphicsmagick++3 1.3.20-3+deb8u1 ii libgraphicsmagick3 1.3.20-3+deb8u1 ii liblapack3 [liblapack.so.3] 3.5.0-4 ii liboctave2 3.8.2-4 ii libqhull6 2012.1-5 ii libqrupdate1 1.1.2-1 ii libqscintilla2-11 2.8.4+dfsg-1 ii libqt4-network 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-2+b1 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-2+b1 ii libqtgui4 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-2+b1 ii libstdc++6 4.9.1-19 ii libumfpack5.6.2 1:4.2.1-3 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii octave-common 3.8.2-4 ii texinfo 5.2.0.dfsg.1-6 Versions of packages octave recommends: ii gnuplot-x11 4.6.6-2 ii libatlas3-base 3.10.2-7 pn pstoedit <none> Versions of packages octave suggests: pn octave-doc <none> pn octave-htmldoc <none> pn octave-info <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
