## NAME

dh\_octave\_exmaples - install examples files for an Octave-Forge package

## SYNOPSIS

**dh\_octave\_examples** \[*debhelper options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

## SEE ALSO

[**debhelper**(7)](/debhelper/7.md), [**dh**(1)](/dh/1.md), [**dh\_octave\_clean**(1)](/dh_octave_clean/1.md), [**dh\_octave\_check**(1)](/dh_octave_check/1.md), [**dh\_octave\_version**(1)](/dh_octave_version/1.md), [**dh\_octave\_changelogs**(1)](/dh_octave_changelogs/1.md), [**dh\_octave\_substvar**(1)](/dh_octave_substvar/1.md)

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.
