octave @4.2.2_1 : portfile references a nonexistent compilers.setup option

[majoc-at-astro (majoc-at-astro)]

The following appears in this morning's builds, under 10.11 and 10.13; the 10.12 builds started earlier last night.

sysadmin@mptest13:ttys000:~/macports-central $ port info octave
Error: Unable to open port: no such compiler: clang36
sysadmin@mptest13:ttys000:~/macports-central $

This seems rather similar to #48154

.... and indeed coincides with commit 908dff7/macports-ports, which drops 35 and 36 from $clang_versions.

I'll add the obvious patch file in the morning (I'm rushed for minutes tonight). Thanks in advance, and apologies for omissions in haste.

Please remember to use TracLinks when referring to Git commits. I've corrected your link above.

There is no clang 3.6 nor 3.5 compiler in MacPorts anymore. Octave should not reference them.

Thanks, and apologies for missing this in the rush last night.

Please find included the aforesaid obvious patchfile, minimally tested: "port info octave" now works as expected; 10.11 test build in progress. (I'm not sure whether the pre-patch mod is necessary.) Hope this helps.

By the way, you can now submit patches via the GitHub pull request mechanism. This generally results in much faster processing.
