[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41298] pkg install: automatically extract %!tests and install both extracted and fixed test files

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #40, bug #41298 (project octave):

Oopsie, typo, sorry

It's the bug about indexing with "end" - bug #58953, cset
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/2a47fa406ed8
That is: I *think* it is this cset that ended allowing uninitialized variables
to be indexed like "variable{end+1}".

Anyway, would you look at his patch? It has been dangling here for over 5
years. Mike doesn't seem to have time or priority.
I have it in my own builds for a long time, helps me a lot when testing
packages.
This cset is meant for "regular" package installations. In mxe-octave and for
OF-package releases (the admin work) the tests are extracted differently.
