[Pkg-octave-devel] Octaviz 0.4.0-9 uploaded to unstable

[Rafael Laboissiere]

I uploaded octaviz_0.4.0-9 to unstable.  Rafael Rodriguez and I have put
a lot of effort in making the package compliant with the DOG Guidelines,
as regards installation paths.  Octaviz uses CMake instead of
autoconf/automake and it less obvious to force the configuration system
to install files where we want.  The approach currently implemented in
debian/rules is working but is quite hackish.  If anybody finds a more
elegant solution, please commit.

Although the package has no *.oct nor *.m files installed in versioned
directories, it still has the following file:

    /usr/lib/octave-2.1.67/liboctaviz.so
    
This means that the package is strictly incompatible with versions of Octave
different from 2.1.67.  I do not know if this can be fixed.  Does anyone
know whether Octave can load shared libraries from non-versioned
directories?
