[Rik]

Update of patch #9880 (project octave):

                  Status:          Ready For Test => Done                   
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #3:

This seems like a very useful addition to pkg.  I committed the patch here:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/c8a44a4e4fe7.

I made two small modifications.  First, I split the very long line that
formats the package dependencies in to two lines of code for readability.


pkg_deps = cellfun (@(d) sprintf ("%s %s %s", struct2cell (d){:}), pkg_deps,
                    "UniformOutput", false);
pkg_deps = strjoin (pkg_deps, "\n\t");


Second, I removed an apparently unnecessary call to strtrim on the output of
strjoin.

@Philip: "non-essential dependencies" might be an interesting feature.  I
would file a Feature Request report about it, rather than continuing with this
patch report.

Marking as Done and closing report.
