@StefanBruens Just to let you know why this is needed, have a look at packages in obs://home:badshah400:octforge. For most packages, I have had to put in
export HOME=${PWD}before%octave_pkg_installto avoid permission-related errors. Having this as part of the macro helps avoid this at the individual pkg level and does not hurt in any way as far as I can see.Thanks in advance for your review.
