Difference between release-3.4.x Mercurial source and octave-3.4.0 archive

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

I have submitted the bug of save command on the binaries built on MinGW using 
source of octave-3.4.0
archive (octave-3.4.0.tar.bz2).

http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?32431

As written in the above, this error did not occur on the default branch source 
on the Mercurial
repository.

In order to check when the difference is involved,  I have tried to download 
release 3.4.x branch
source on the Mercurial repository.

First, copy default branch source directory to the directory named 
'release-3.4.x'
and change directory there and carried out

$ hg update --clean release-3-4-x

After that I have execute there the following

$ hg branch
release-3-4-x

Is the above way right to download release-3-4.x source?

After that I have clone this directory as release-3-4-x-work and used for build.

**************
For source 3.3.9x and 3.4.0, I needed to sepcify LIBS='-lgfortran -llapack'
This was reported the below.
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?32250

However, for release-3-4-x, this is not required.

The version number of release-3-4-x is 3.5.0+ but not 3.4.0.

The save command error did not occur as in the case of default branch.

Considering the above, some problems might occur in making the archives but not 
branching 3-4-x.

I will see the difference between the source of octave 3.4.0 and release-3.4.x.

Regards

Tatsuro
