Yes, this is a much better solution. Thanks for the suggestion. I am
just wondering: is there a simple way to delete the temporary
directory after he build is finished ?
I don't know, but most people build packages in temporary/disposable chroots,
so if the package just writes a few files which are also small, it's not
something for which I would worry too much.
Yes, it not really a worrisome issue. However, I have just noticed that
the solution that you proposed with mktemp is a little bit intrusive.
Indeed, a new temporary directory is created at each invocation of
debain/rules, such that I end up with five /tmp/tmp.* directories after
package building, with only the last one being actually used. I will try
another approach, probably by changing the dh_octave_check script, which
is the one that eventually needs a writable $HOME directory.
Best,
