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.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7), dh(1), dh_octave_substvar(1), dh_octave_clean(1), dh_octave_check(1),
       dh_octave_changelogs(1), dh_octave_examples(1)

       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.
