[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47480] [octave forge] (io) relies on deprecated octave_config_info

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #47480 (project octave):

This is more about making sure that code outside of Octave does not rely on
'__octave_config_info__'. There are no plans to remove that function, but we
want to make sure no external code is depending on it so its contents can be
changed at will without worrying about backwards compatibility. And if there
are things that packages or users do need, then we want to add that to Octave
in a documented manner.

So far I don't think we need to add anything to Octave to give you a path to
migrate away from octave_config_info in the io package.

> Maybe it's still be a good place, so is there an alternative for
octave_config_info("libdir")? It doesn't hurt to search there for .jars 

No, there is no such equivalent. However, it is equal to


d = fullfile (OCTAVE_HOME, "lib");


if you want to keep searching that directory.
