[Scilab-users] Scilab takes forever to boot ... because of http://news.scilab.io/feed ???

[Clément DAVID]

Hello Antoine,

Yep there is a known bug #14592 that might trigger this kind of behavior. If you have custom hosts rules or a very restrictive firewall you will probably have some issues. 

Please comment on http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14592 .

Well, I just installed the latest nighly and managed to reproduce this bug at least once (ie on the first startup after install).
It seems that I cannot reach http://news.scilab.io/feed whereas my connection to other websites is OK.
