[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41215] Request for a "pkg test" feature

[Oliver Heimlich]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #41215 (project octave):

I propose the following solution:
- The extraction of tests from .cc files is the package maintainers
responsibility. The package's Makefile shall contain a build target for
.cc-tst files like the Makefiles in octave core. (this solves #41298)
- The “pkg install” shall copy any src/*-tst and src/*.tst files into the
package's target directory.
- The requested “pkg test” can be implemented via pkg load +
__run_test_suite__
- Bonus target: The test.m script shall lookup <functionname>.cc-tst files,
for simple testing of a single installed OCT-file.

I can provide a patch, if you agree with the proposal.
