[Pkg-octave-devel] Hello, some doubts and ideas

[Andreu Correa Casablanca]

Hello, my name is Andreu.

I'm working on a proposal to improve the Octave's package management system
(pkg.m) to make it more flexible. I've recently discovered this group while
doing a little bit of research, and I think it would be interesting to know
your opinions before and after the proposal is written in the Octave's wiki.

I've seen you are using a package (octave-pkg-dev) to make easier creating
Octave's packages for Debian. Since it's probable that my proposal will
introduce backwards incompatibilities, I think it's very important to do it
with your agreement and taking into account your advices.

One of my ideas is to add another "per-project" packages in addition to the
global and local packages.

Another idea is to handle every "project" (a directory with Octave code) as
a package itself ("anonymous" package if there isn't metadata available,
and named package if the metadata is available). This point may introduce
subtle changes in the package directory structure.

Regards.
