Please find attached a patch applied to the communications package in Debian (upcoming Debian release 1.1.1-1).
More details about the purpose of the patch are given in the patch header. Best,
Description: Fix bug in oct2dec.m with big numbers Without this patch, the following test fails: assert (oct2dec (77777777), 2^24 - 1) This is because 77777777 will be converted to "7.77778e+07" by numstr. . Note that, even with this patch, the test will still fail on Octave 3.6.1 (but not with subsequent Octave releases), because of a bug in base2dec (http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=35621). Author: Sébastien Villemot <sebastien.ville...@ens.fr> Forwarded: no Last-Update: 2012-05-20 --- This patch header follows DEP-3: http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/ --- a/inst/oct2dec.m +++ b/inst/oct2dec.m @@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ d = zeros (size (c)); l = size (c, 2); for k = 1:l - str = num2str (c(:,k)); + str = num2str (c(:,k), "%d"); d(:,k) = base2dec (str, 8); if (any (isnan (d(:,k)))) error ("oct2dec: c must be an octal matrix");
