the link is still in error, but the page now has a header indicating the page is no longer maintained and points to packages.octave.org, which does have correct links to the NaN repository.  closing report as won't fix.

I think that this bug report is obsolete and should be closed.

Indeed, the official website for the Octave packages has been moved to https://packages.octave.org/. At that page, the link to the nan package is the correct one: https://gnu-octave.github.io/packages/nan/

Link fix?  All still bug?

Redirected here by Kai from #59484

I think I have identified the source of this issue as line 21 in this file: https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/project-web/ci/default/tree/htdocs/templates/Makefile

Line 20 above it greps the package's DESCRIPTION file for the name of the package, line 21 converts it to lowercase, and this is then stored as the package's name in the Makefile.

However, I'm reluctant to 'fix' this myself by simply removing this line, as I'm pretty sure it would break all the other packages instead.

Obviously it could be fixed by adding a hacky if statement of sorts specifically for this package, but I'm guessing the regrettable but more appropriate solution might simply be to ask Alois to rename the repository for the sake of consistency.

(I also note that there is only one other package with a capital letter, which is MacOSX, but this does not seem to be listed on the octave forge website anyway).

In the 'Packages' page of the OF website [1], the link to the Mercurial repository of the nan package is wrong:

https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/nan/

It should be instead:

https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/NaN/

Thanks,

Rafael
