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.
Version: 0.3.2
