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

[antoine monmayrant]

Hi all,

A recent nightly-build of scilab-6.0 just took more than a minute to start.
It seems due to a problem of connection to http://news.scilab.io/feed .
Here is the error I get on the terminal:

     java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for 
URL: http://news.scilab.io/feed

It raises 3 questions:

1) How do I disable this? Is closing the news feed docking window enough 
to prevent scilab from trying to connect to this server?

2) Am I this only one experiencing this problem?

3) Shouldn't this be considered a bug? Scilab should startup as fast 
possible even if there is a connection issue, right?

Cheers,

Antoine
