Ok, pkg is a popular topic! We are discussing several issues in this thread. I think is time to separate them. 1. Make PKG_ADD work with multi-packages (or inst/ with multiple subfolders). Clemes gave a solution based on searching the path for the packages. Philip Nienhuis thinks there could be a structural solution using ~/.octave_packages to store the folders and octave_config_info(). A new thread "Getting package installation prefixes" is open, lets finish the details there. 2. Another thread "How to deal with multi-packages with more than one src" is open to discuss this issue. 3. Is "pkg rebuild" working properly? If not, we should open a new thread. I may have forgotten some of the topics discussed. -- M. Sc.
