Follow-up Comment #3, bug #39479 (project octave):

A workaround is to use


s = pkg ("-forge", "list");


which completes much faster, but only lists the names of available packages
without their versions.

A real solution to this will probably involve an improved server-side script
that returns all the information needed in some structured format like XML,
JSON, or even CSV. The pkg function can then get everything it needs from one
URL fetch instead of tens of URLs.

Can anyone comment where are the Octave Forge server-side scripts maintained,
for example list_packages.php and packages.php?
