"You can still keep all the 6 Makefile on your packages the same, it's
just that you would have to sync them when a change is made. You can
even a one line Makefile that only calls your script (but your existing
script would still have to be committed on the six repos). I would
guess that they wouldn't change much overtime so it wouldn't be too
much of a burden."
Yes, this is what I wanted to avoid: copying code in 6 different
places and maintaining all 6 copies.
Last time I checked, it was not necessary for R or Julia package to
provide a Makefile for package containing only scripts. Shouldn't we
rather make to process of submitting a package not as simple as
possible (at least for packages which a just a collection of scripts
without any C/C++ or Fortran code)? The number of octave package is
with 69 (+33 unmaintained) rather low compared to Julia (1128
including the unmaintained packages) or R (9624).
