Dear Octave forge maintainers,

A while ago I announced a new release of the STK, version 2.1.0, a toolbox developped and maintained by my colleague Emmanuel Vazquz and myself :

http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/STK-2-1-0-released-td4660018.html

I would love to see our toolbox distributed as an Octave forge package... what would be the requirements for that ?

Our project is currently hosted on Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/kriging) and we want to keep it that way, so I'm thinking of something like the LTFAT, which is distributed as an Octave forge package but hosted on a separate repository.

I have started to write a Python script that prepares a tar.gz with all the required files for an Octave package (DESCRIPTION, PKG_ADD, PKG_DEL and so on). It is not finished yet, but already produces a valid package that can be installed using Octave's pkg command :

http://sourceforge.net/p/kriging/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/admin/make_octave_package.py

Our documentation is currently in plain text format, but I can wrap it in @deftypefn + @verbatim texinfo environments (again, as done in the Octave package release of the LTFAT package).

Would there be any other requirement for our toolbox to be distributed as an octave forge package ?

@++
Julien
