Dear list,I am packaging a few octave toolboxes for Fedora. Some of the toolboxes have a dependency to other toolboxes.On the rpm package level, I can use *Requires* to ask rpm to install these dependent modules, but when running Octave, the *pkg load* command is not aware of the dependent toolboxes and automatically load them.I would like to know if anyone know if pkg is capable of loading dependent toolboxes? if yes, what file I should create to tell pkg such information? because the spec file uses the *%octave_pkg_{build,install,preun}* macros to create toolbox packages, I am wondering if adding dependency info is supported by these macros (and how).
Fedora octave rpm packages are configured to be auto-loaded by octave. I'm not sure how "pkg" itself handles package dependencies. The %octave_pkg_* macros do not do anything with regards to dependencies. All dependencies are specified via BuildRequires/Requires.
That's about as much as I can say without any specific examples of any problems you may be seeing.
