Dear Johan ===== @maintainers: Description text of "package/pre_install.m" in http://octave.sourceforge.net/developers.html should change to "This is an optional **function** that is run prior to the installation of a package. " I do not known if applies to the other functions/scrtips, but I guess it does. ===
I just wrote a script that will allows us (in case you accept the merging) to have ocframe as a more-or-less independent subpackage of mechanics (though to install you need to install mechanics) The structure is as follows mechanics ├── COPYING ├── DESCRIPTION ├── doc │ └── NEWS ├── INDEX ├── src ├── inst │ ├── private │ ├── <my files mFiles> │ └── ocframe │ ├── src │ ├── inst │ │ └── private │ └── <your files mFiles> └── pre_install.m So ocframe would be a subfolder of inst. When installed, the structure is lost, this is just for maintenance. (It is easy to change the structure to put ocframe as a subfolder of mechanics instead of mechanics/inst). Here is an example of the pre_install.m function http://agora.panocha.org.mx/snippet/SkIg/ You would need to add "ocframe" to the subfld cell in line 6. If you accept (and if needed) pre_install.m has to be enhanced to merge any Makefile you may have in ocframe/src/. Similarly, so far the file INDEX has to be maintained manually, however pre_install could handle the merging. Let me known -- M. Sc.
