Hello,

Is there an easy way to try installing an octave-forge package from SVN 
source?

As far as I understand, pkg.m only works for .tar.gz packages, so I 
guess I need to somehow create a gzipped package from the SVN sources.

I had a look at the svn tree, but to be honest I got confused as to 
which makefile to look at.

I looked for something obvious as doing

  cd main\optim
and
  make pkg
or
  make dist
or
  make all

well, which does not work. Obvoiusly a too simple-minded approach.

I ask because it would be a great help when preparing new binary 
releases to be able check if there are bugs or missing dependencies in 
the octave package itself and not have to wait until a new version of 
octave-forge is released.
