Description : Debhelper-based infrastructure for building Octave add-on packages
Since version 3.0 of Octave (a numerical computation software),
add-ons can be installed through the pkg.m system. This package
provides the infrastructure for packaging such add-ons for Debian,
based on debhelper. It replaces the deprecated octave-pkg-dev
package. This package contains debhelper-like scripts for building,
checking and cleaning the add-on package as well as for generating the
substitution variables in debian/control.
This package is intended to be used by the Debian Octave Group
and should be of little interest to general users.
Once this package will be in unstable, the ~50 octave-* packages that
provide Octave-Forge add-ons will migrate their build-dependency from
octave-pkg-dev to dh-octave.
This package will be maintained in the realm of the Debian Octave
Group.
