[Pkg-octave-commit] r2382 - in octave-pkg-dev/trunk: . debian

[Thomas Weber]

New Revision: 2382

Modified:
   octave-pkg-dev/trunk/debian/changelog
   octave-pkg-dev/trunk/octave-pkg.mk.in
Log:
export bash variable OCTAVE_HISTFILE and let it point to /dev/null
Even with --no-history, Octave still creates an (empty) ~/.octave_hist file.
This leads to 'permission denied' errors in the build log, when $HOME is not
writable.
