In the process of upgrading the octave-control package for the new
upstream version (2.8.0), I saw this entry in the NEWS file:
** In order to comply with modified Octave Forge rules, the package no longer
auto-loads. See "help pkg" for details on auto-loading.
Where can these "modified Octave Forge rules" be found?
I am remember correctly, we decided to enforce auto-loading in the Debian
packages. Is it time to revise our rules?
I seem to remember that some time ago there was a discussion on the
Octave lists about removing package autoloading. This seems confirmed by
this message:
http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/educate-after-quot-pkg-install-quot-td4669189.html#a4669190
Maybe John or Jordi could comment on this issue?
If this is confirmed, we should probably remove all our "autoload: yes"
patches, to better reflect upstream decision.
