[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49709] Potential privacy breach related to SF logo

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #49709 (project octave):

These files are not actually used in any part of Octave or its build system.
The functions are intended to be used by an end user of Octave who wants to
generate this web page:

http://octave.sourceforge.net/compare_plots/

and as you can see there, the page is intended to fit into the Octave Forge
web layout, which is why the header and footer are the way they are.

To make use of these files, a user would be told to do this


>> addpath (fullfile (__octave_config_info__ ("fcnfiledir"), "testfun",
"private"))
>> compare_plot_demos


which would produce the HTML file that could be shared or posted on a web
site, and is designed to be hosted on the sourceforge project page.

If we want to keep Octave itself "pure" of any Forge URL knowledge, there
could be some post-process step done to add the Octave Forge header and
footer, rather than including them in the original file built by these
functions.
