Re: Moving mkoctfile.m into octave-dev
* Sébastien Villemot <sebastien@debian.org> [2023-08-30 08:35]:
If you really think that something needs to be changed, I think the
best solution would be to have mkoctfile error out with an informative
error message (e.g. “You should install octave-dev”).
I completely forgot that we have already a mechanism for copying with
this case (debian/debian_missing_handler.m). With the current setup, when
octave-dev is not installed, we have the following behavior:
octave:1> mkoctfile
error: mkoctfile: please install the Debian package "octave-dev" to get the mkoctfile command
I will revert my two last commits.
Sorry for the noise.
