Easiest for now would be to augment the web page (section on "Make a release of your package and publish its function reference") along the following lines: Change "* generate the function reference HTML files with the command generate_package_html from the package `generate_html': " into "* generate the function reference HTML files with the command generate_package_html from the package `generate_html' (make sure the (new) package is installed in octave as currently the generate_package_html.m function can only process installed packages):" As to generate_html, I currently have no time to delve into it. Hopefully I at a later moment I'll be able to give it a try. It would be worthwile I think. BTW: The example about md5sums on that same web page section works with different syntax in MinGW/MSYS (invoking Windows executables). An example is shown in my latest package release forum message. >>> Please repost the corrected files and also remember to include checksums. Took a bit of time as I had to do this under Linux (there's no octave-3.4.x for Windows yet on which the new io-1.0.14 depends & Windows is my main dev platform for the spreadsheet scripts). Anyway, done, just posted the stuff to the package release forum. Hopefully all is OK now.
