[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41298] pkg install: automatically extract %!tests and install both extracted and fixed test files

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #45, bug #41298 (project octave):

I don't know either, but I'd say for the same reason that in

:
  if (isempty (__file))
    __file = file_in_loadpath ([__name ".m"], "all");
  endif
  if (isempty (__file))
    __file = file_in_loadpath ([__name ".cc"], "all");
  endif
:


 *.cc and *.m  files are treated that way.

So, out of curiosity I commented out that entire stanza in the verbatim block
above, and then "pkg test io" and  __run_test_suite__  still work fine (in
Octave-6.0.93 and 7.0.0). I'd say that whole stanza can go then.
Maybe it's a relict that was needed in earlier Octave versions?
