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

[Stéphane Mottelet]

Hi Antoine,

I just tried to start teh latest Scilab-branch-6.0 build  after 
deactivating my network connection and had the usual startup time. I 
just have the following text appearing in the Newsfeed pane: " News feed 
unavailable. "
