This package currently has no maintainer. Many other packages also have no maintainer and I have been trying to make releases of them as I find free time to do so. We are aware of this problem and it is fixed on the development source (as you probably already noticed). This package is a bit more complex and I'm not familiar with it all so if you'd like to prepare a new release you are most welcome and it would be very appreciated. > I dug a bit more into the broader case of mkoctfile with respect to > all packages.

The pkg function in Octave would need some changes to accomodate this.
