If you make changes to some functions in the optim package and you
want them to be avialable
you can just make a release of the optim package and post it.
I'm sure the optim package maintainer won't complain and it's not a
hard job, it's as easy as:
svn export optim
tar cvzf optim.tar.gz
octave
pkg install optim.tar.gz
generate_package_html ("optim","optim-html","octave-forge")
exit
tar cvzf optim-html.tar.gz optim-html
the effort on your side is a total of 7 commands
the benefit is that anyone who's interested in optimization but
doesn't know a thing about econometrics can take benefit of bfgsmin
and samin
