No, this is true, and is a slight regression from the old build system. The safest path for now is./configure make all make dist-xz
Thanks for the tip. I just committed a script (octave/debian/generate-hg-tarball.sh) that automate the creation of the tarball.
I am right now preparing a new version for experimental that will force the build with gcc-6. Thanks, BTW, for your patch in another message.
