Package: matlab-support
Version: 0.0.19
Severity: wishlist
I do not remember what was our decision originally (I believe we had some
discussion about this), but why don't we have something like:
# ls -ld /etc/profile.d/matlab-support.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 81 Jun 23 21:39 /etc/profile.d/matlab-support.sh
# cat /etc/profile.d/matlab-support.sh
#!/bin/sh
export MATLABPATH=$MATLABPATH${MATLABPATH:+:}/usr/share/matlab/site/m/
then we could either
1. add to corresponding packages path adjusting scripts (e.g.
enable_ptb3.m) under that directory making it easy to enable those modules.
Yes -- it would be a Debian-specific solution, but it would provide our users
often missing convinience.
2. create a more generic helper enable_module.m which given an argument with
the module name would:
- check if directory exist under /usr/share/matlab/site/m/, if not -- report
error
- if there is a file e.g. MODULE/.__startup__.m, it would run it expecting to
offload
path setup to it; if it doesn't exist then simply adding that MODULE/
directory
to the matlab's path thus providing easy solution for flat matlab modules
which
do not need multiple directories to be added to the path
What do you think?
