They seemed to reply relatively quickly to each other, which is likely the reason why it took only less than a week for them to fix the bug.
Gnu octave stands for Patch#
A patch was created by a user to fix the problem, which the other users verified that it fixed it. Based on their discussion, it looks like they encountered some incorrect behaviour regarding variables in nested functions. One was the discoverer of the bug, another is someone who marks the bug as fixed, and the last is a contributor to fixing the bug. The GNU Octave 6.3.0 release has a bug fix for bug #60845 which three users/developers were involved in. The release pages also link to the bug tracker for bugs, although it doesn’t contain links to the patch tracker. Then the patch may be integrated into releases of GNU Octave, which are displayed in the News section of the GNU Octave website. The patch is then uploaded to the bug or patch tracker in the Savannah software forge for discussion and evaluation with other developers. As found in the Octave wiki, modifications of Octave are made by getting its latest version, making the changes, committing them, and exporting them into a patch. Octave is developed with the use of Mercurial, a source code management system (SCMS). GNU Octave is one package that you can find in GNU, used for numerical analysis. It’s a collection of Unix-like free software which is written in various programming languages other than Unix. GNU stands for “GNU’s Not Unix!”, which seems cool since it’s a recursive acronym. A bit of research in action this time! I’ll be looking at the review processes of a few open-source software packages.
