-This is a script to package Octave-Forge, the main source for
-out-of-mainline Octave packages.
-
-The Octave-Forge packages are grouped into four categories (main,
-extra, language and nonfree). By default the script packages all of
-them, but you can specify a different behavior with the REPOS
-variable. For example,
- REPOS=main,extra ./octave-forge.SlackBuild
-will build only the "main" and "extra" repositories.
-Parallel compilation is not supported.
-
-Some packages have dependencies on external components that are not
-available on stock Slackware or SlackBuilds.org. These components
-(and, more generally, packages failing compilation) are automatically
-excluded from the package.
-
-If you want to build a newer version of Octave-Forge, you need to
-regenerate the Octave script that performs the build itself. To do
-this, run generate-installscript.sh after updating the usual variables
-near the beginning.
-
-Note: on package removal, you should run as root:
- mkdir -p /usr/share/octave/packages && \
- octave --silent --eval "pkg rebuild"
