It's quite simple and explained in http://octave.sourceforge.net/developers.html
Basically, cd into main/econometrics and run
svn log -v -r HEAD:{yyyy-mm-dd}
with the date from last release. This will generate a list of commits
since the last release. Write them in a NEWS file. Update the version
number and date on DESCRIPTION. Then
svn export ../econometrics ~/econometrics
cd ~
make sure to remove all .svnignore and othr things not necessary in
econometrics/
tar czf econometrics-x.y.z.tar.gz econometrics/
install the package you just generated and generate the documentation
pkg install -forge generate_html;
pkg load generate_html;
generate_package_html ('econometrics', 'econometrics-html', 'octave-forge');
Then exit octave prompt and
tar czf econometrics-html.tar.gz econometrics-html/
That's it. Upload both files to the forum and I'll upload them to the server.
