NAME
dh_octave_version - check Octave version dependency for an Octave-Forge package
SYNOPSIS
dh_octave_version
DESCRIPTION
dh_octave_version is intended to be run from the top-level source directory of an Octave add-on package. It checks whether the version of the Octave program installed in the system satisfies the dependency specified in the package’s DESCRIPTION file.

This program is meant to be used together with debhelper for Debian packages derived from Octave-Forge packages. It is recommended to enable it by adding the dh-sequence-octave virtual package to Build-Depends, Build-Depends-Arch or Build-Depends-Indep. This is equivalent to adding dh-octave to the same field and adding --with=octave to the dh sequencer in debian/rules, except that only -arch/-indep/profiled builds are affected. This is also slightly more simple in the most common case.
