[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58225] Installing package fails when package was already installed globally

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #58225 (project octave):

For that matter even .m-file functions may not be compatible between Octave
releases.

But your suggestion of having the local package .oct files live in separate
subdirs for each Octave release is probably a good one IMO.

earlier on I've pondered a bit about this but I'm still a bit confused about
how a new Octave release with a new api version could see the local packages
already installed. I suppose a new Octave release would have to reinstall
local packages to be able to have new api-compatible .oct files.
