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

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #41298 (project octave):

Good suggestions, thanks, I'll adapt the patches.

oruntests.m works in only one specified directory and (AFAICS) not its
subdirs. Itsoutput is minimal but sufficient (IMO).
 __run_test_suite__.m  also processes subdirs but gives a lot of other output
AND creates an fntests.log file for each run.

So I can either:
Adapt the first patch to simply move the *-tst files into the .m-file subdir,
as that'll make it easier to implement a "pkg test"  option that processes the
entire package (see bug #41215) using oruntests.m;
-or-:
Move the *-tst files into a "test"subdir and invoke  __run_test_suite__.m  to
run the tests.

Maybe we'll just need to experiment.
