Hi Andreas,


Thanks for the hint. This helped me to fix other issues, currently, the
package builds without error. It seems this would allow 2.0.4 to be
build in debian. I pushed the sonameversion to 3 because the ABI changed
because visibility is now managed in the source, but the API did not
change. So, this should not affect any application (sigviewer and
stimfit build fine). I guess this means it can go into unstable?

For clarification, my question was about how one could include these
files into the distributed octave-biosig package - not how to ignore
them. Perhaps there is no easy way for it, and I need to package this
first as an octave-forge package and include that octave-forge package
in debian? Or is there some documentation about debian packaging that
you can recommend ?


Best,

  Alois
