[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#721802: octave: triangle_lw mentioned in manual but not usable

[Francesco Potortì]

Package: octave
Version: 3.6.4-3
Severity: normal

The function triangle_lw is mentioned in the manual, but it is not seen
by octave, which barks with "error: 'triangle_lw' undefined".

I suppose this is because triangle_lw is under a signal/private
directory: I do not know if this is a packaging or a distribution error.
