The update of the global pkg database is now managed by cygwin setup during the postinstall phase. A semaphore system is in place to update the database only when needed and just one time, also when multiple forge packages are added or removed. DESCRIPTION The GNU Octave language for numerical computations is a (mostly Matlab (R) compatible) high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command-line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically.

If there is a way to instead pre-format the documentation, that'd probably be preferrable to requiring texinfo (which in turn requires perl).

However, http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/v4.0.1/Getting-Help.html#Getting-Help "The entire text of this manual is available from the Octave prompt via the command doc. In addition, the documentation for individual user-written functions and variables is also available via the help command." "doc" does not need makeinfo as the documentation is already available preprocessed in /usr/share/octave/4.0.1/etc/doc-cache "help" tries to build the documentation on the fly. It seems an upstream bug that does not check that is already available.

Well, that too. But doc also uses info to view, while help just displays the page in the terminal.
