Nearly, there still seems to be one 'DOC' left in scripts/pkg/pkg.m. If I change
this to 'doc-cache' then yes, I can install a package. Can you add this change
per hand or should I send a changeset?
bash$ cat scripts/pkg/pkg.m | grep DOC
gen_doc_cache (fullfile (dirs{i}, "DOC"), dirs{i});
Thanks again,
Thomas
