[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57083] pkg list does not indicate loaded global packages

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #57083 (project octave):

right, I already got it working on Windows.
pkg list now shows (w. fixed Octave):

>> pkg list
Package Name         | Version | Installation directory
---------------------+---------+-----------------------
     communications  |   1.2.1 |
...\mingw64\share\octave\packages\communications-1.2.1
            control *|   3.2.0 |
...\Octave-6.0.0_20191017L\mingw64\share\octave\packages\control-3.2.0
     data-smoothing  |   1.3.0 |
...\mingw64\share\octave\packages\data-smoothing-1.3.0
:


rather than (w. Octave from before bug):

>> pkg list
Package Name         | Version | Installation directory
---------------------+---------+-----------------------
     communications  |   1.2.1 |
...\OCTAVE~2.0_2\mingw64\share\octave\packages\communications-1.2.1
            control *|   3.2.0 |
...\Octave\OCTAVE~2.0_2\mingw64\share\octave\packages\control-3.2.0
     data-smoothing  |   1.3.0 |
...\OCTAVE~2.0_2\mingw64\share\octave\packages\data-smoothing-1.3.0
:



I need to check the fix on Linux first, somewhere next weekend I'll have a
cset.

While there, I find the listing of package installation subdirs not very
enlightening. Maybe pkg should first mention Octave's install directory
(OCTAVE_HOME) before mentioning any package and/or show global package dirs
relative to OCTAVE_HOME or so.
But that's for another bug report.
