Re: Octave-Forge: requirement for a maintainer Makefile for release

[Alexander Barth]

Hi all,

I am maintain currently 6 packages and I use a bash script to prepare
a release (do a clean check out, remove unnecessary files such as
.gitignore, make configure script, run tests, generate documentation
...)

I think it would be good to have all these tasks at a central place (a
bash script or a Makefile fragment) rather than to explicitly copy
this logic in all 6 Makefiles. Otherwise it would be quite difficult
to maintain the Makefiles in the long run.

Best regards,
Alex
