RE:Objects: contributing the dynamicprops and hgsetget classes

[FARHI Emmanuel]

Hi,

I've started to reformat my classdef contributions as regular octave-forge packages.

• https://github.com/farhi/octave-hgsetget
• https://github.com/farhi/octave-dynamicprops

Unfortunately, the included Texinfo help is not parsed correctly in classdef, as mentioned in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48041. So manually generated doc files should probably be added.

So, as of today, it is possible to install both superclasses with 'pkg install' from the releases in my github repos. The next step is to link it to the official octave-forge, but I do not know yet how to do that.

Cheers to all, Emmanuel.

Unfortunately, I can't find a good document on "how to make a good
Octave pkg-conformant package". That's a bummer. Can any of the core
Octave developers help us out here? Seems like this is a document that
ought to exist.

General info on package format is in the Manual [1] with some additional tips in the Forge site [2]. There's an example package that's supposed to demonstrate how to deploy different capabilities [3].
