Example of using MPM with namespace

I have a collection of functions in a Matlab namespace +stdlib. I would like to distribute these to R2024b+ Matlab users via mpminstall.

I use Matlab namespaces with a +stdlib/ folder to allow using functions in numerous 3rd party programs while avoiding function namespace collisions. Currently I distribute the code via Git. I would like to try the MPM packaging if it's feasible.

However, it seems that packaging namespaces is not supported; on using mpmcreate() I get errors like

File mpackage.json, Line: 17, Column: 10 Special folder '+stdlib' is not supported as a package root or member folder.

Hi,

Based on the naming convention mentioned in https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/mpmcreate.html?s_tid=srchtitle_support_results_1_mpmcreate, package display name should be a string scalar.

MATLAB’s MPM packaging does not support +namespace folders (like +stdlib), you can try renaming it without a "+" sign.

Hope it helps!

Thanks
