Add MATLAB_UPDATE argument to dockerfile #122

Open PVDecker1 opened 3 weeks ago

PVDecker1 commented 3 weeks ago

I would consider this an enhancement request.

There are cases where it is useful to test/troubleshoot code across release updates, but none of the dockerfiles have a means of installing a specific update of any given release.

It can be done fairly simply by adding a MATLAB_UPDATE argument, then appending it to MATLAB_RELEASE during the mpm call. That is what I do to accomplish update-specific MATLAB builds at least, although I would prefer TMW implement this behavior.

Hi @PVDecker1, thanks for raising this enhancement request, I will pass it on to the dev to to instigate

@PVDecker1 Just want to make sure you are aware of the following syntax for mpm where you add Un to the end of the release argument to specify the release update you would like ...

$ ./mpm install --destination=`pwd` --release=R2024aU4 MATLAB
Installing with the following parameters:
--destination=/tmp/test-install
--doc=false
--release=R2024aU4
--products=MATLAB

I am aware that mpm can do this directly, but the matlab-deps tags and mpm do not utilize the same nomenclature, as passing r2024aU2 to the dockerfile would not make it past the FROM statement. The same goes for OS specific installs, as I cannot pass r2024a-ubi since that succeeds at the FROM statement, but is ignored during the mpm call, unless the latter is by design.
