[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57081] [octave forge] (io) incorrect io package version in src/configure.ac

[Kai Torben Ohlhus]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #57081 (project octave):

Looking at your Makefile

https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/io/ci/default/tree/src/Makefile

neither "bootstrap" nor "configure.ac" are necessary, as you only use
"mkoctfile" to compile a few files.

To comply with the Octave package standard

https://octave.org/doc/v5.2.0/Creating-Packages.html

it is not necessary either, only the "Makefile" is called then.

If you want to support older Octave versions, you can include a small header
defining "is_cell" to "iscell", etc., or just mark the latest supported Octave
version in the DESCRIPTION file.

I cannot find an Octave Forge documentation which specifies the necessity for
"bootstrap" nor "configure.ac".  Maybe Olaf can clarify this?
