Dear Oliver,
I saw a lot of changes on
http://sourceforge.net/p/octave/interval/ci/default/tree/

in comparison to the current 0.2.1 package.
May I suggest at least a  0.2.2 release ?

In addition please put a COPYING file on the main dir;
exporting the mercurial source in a tar.gz file and building/installing
from that file is failing as a COPYING is expected.

Regards
Marco
