[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#759427: liboctave-dev: examples/Makefile* should not be installed

[Mike Miller]

Package: liboctave-dev
Version: 3.8.2-1
Severity: minor

The liboctave-dev package copies the entire examples directory to
/usr/share/doc/liboctave-dev/examples. This includes upstream
Makefile{,.am,.in} files. These files are a distraction and do not provide any
utility to the user. They don't contain rules to build or do anything with the
example code, and simply won't work outside of the Autotools context of the
source package. They should simply be removed.
