[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #9464] texinfo errors/warnings will set status flag

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #1, patch #9464 (project octave):

This doesn't apply due to some minor quoting differences now, but I think we
can do this for Octave 6. @cbm Do you want to refresh the patch? If not I can
easily enough.

Aesthetically it would be nice if the "--force" option were added along with
the other options, even though yeah, yeah, GNU allows options after
arguments...

What about something like


cmd = regexprep (cmd, "--output=", "--force --output=");


?

Other than that, I just need to test it against the current default branch,
make sure help, docs, tests all work as before, test a few packages, etc.
Should be safe, and shouldn't make things any slower as long as texinfo is
written properly. Just cautious because spawning makeinfo for each doc string
is a very slow part of Octave these days.
