It would be great to have a package system for Octave and a corresponding repository, similar to what has been done for R, Perl, Python, TeX, etc. This would complement octave-forge not replace it. Octave-forge would remain the place for collaborative development of Octave add-ons while the package repository would be more of a place for polished collections of code that could be downloaded individually. Packages might depend on others so updates would get everything you need, etc. Who is interested in helping to design a package format for Octave and/or set up and maintain the archive? jwe ------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
