I am the maintainer of the octave-forge ports. These all use a file
called bsd.octave.mk.
Currently this is located in Mk. But I have noticed that many ports
have their bsd.*.mk files in one of their ports. For example,
bsd.mesalib.mk is in graphics/libGL.
What is accepted opinion on this? Should I move bsd.octave.mk to
math/octave-forge-base? I am also thinking of renaming it
bsd.octave-forge.mk,
If you think it should be moved, please tell me how strong your view is.
I am told that it requires quite a bit of effort to perform this
change, because CVS has to track all these changes.
Thanks, Stephen
