Alastair Pharo 250ddfe1a2 octave: add runtime texinfo dependency
makeinfo (provided by the texinfo package) is used by the "help"
command in Octave to display info about functions, etc.  By default,
Octave looks for "makeinfo" in the PATH, rather than specifying the
location of the executable.  This results in Nix not being aware that
makeinfo is required at runtime (so unless you happen have makeinfo
available from your path, "help" won't work).

This patch fixes that by setting the path to makeinfo in Octave,
thereby creating a runtime dependency on texinfo.

Build Status Code Triagers Badge

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-17.03 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.03

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
