interesting... I used your package on sid the other day with no issues in an
ipython notebook. Maybe I was just lucky in the relatively small set of
features that I was using.

BTW this means that the package isn't running the test suite at build time...
but from the bug report you linked to, I assume that the test suite doesn't
completely pass in any case. It would be good if you could run the test suite
at build time, marking the known-failing tests as xfail so that they can fail
gracefully but any further failures would be caught.
 
  That's right, the mentors version has a dh_override_auto_test,  I have removed it
  the version without the override is on 

Even better would be to
also add some autopkgtest tests to the package so that the tests can be run on
ci.debian.net every time a new octave version appears to make sure things
don't break without someone noticing.

 I will take your advice, thanks :)

the upstream bug is closed but I'm not sure how large the patch was to fix it
or if it would be possible to apply it to 1.3.0. If you're keen, you could
investigate that... but I perfectly understand waiting for upstream to release
their next version.
 
 Yeah it's closed but I don't see any commits related.  I'll be watching the upstream repo
 if he commits the fix I'll evaluate if it's better apply the patch to 1.3.0 or wait for the next 
 release
  

cheers

Hi Stuart,

Finally I've packaged oct2py since upstream has made many changes. 

I want to ask you if you are interested in sponsor it 

Here is the VCS url: http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/python-modules/packages/oct2py/
and the mentors url: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/oct2py/oct2py_2.3.0-1.dsc


Cheers
