Follow-up Comment #6, bug #32839 (project octave):

Discussing this on #octave, I just want to point out that both Debian and
Fedora carry this patch in the octave builds for those distributions (and
derivatives).

The purpose of the patch is to allow installing a package from an unpacked
source directory. This makes "pkg install" behave like make, as in "wget
thing.tar.gz; tar xf thing.tar.gz; cd thing; octave --eval 'pkg install .'".

I think it is acceptable if we decide that we don't want pkg to behave this
way, and only be able to install packages from a packed tarball. But
distribution packagers are still going to want a way to install a package from
an unpacked source directory.
