[Pkg-octave-devel] octave-forge

[Ólafur Jens Sigurðsson <ojsbug@gmail.com>]

Hi

A very simple suggestion to the problem of the octave-forge (dont know
if you have given up on this or what) and I am not familiar with
debian policies or anything so this is just the first idea that came
out of my twisted mind :-)

Why not have the package so that it contains the .tar.gz and an install
script that unzips the file and installs each package through octave
--eval "pkg install $pkgname" and then clean up after it on the
filesystem???

I am somehow certain that the thought must have crossed your minds and
that there is something that is preventing this solution but I would
like to know what then :-)

Best regards

Oli
