That's weird. That has always worked for me. Are you sure you are packaging what was exported and not the actual source tree? It has happened to me forgetting to cd after the export.

The problem is that it is not inside a box, is not underlined, and the pointer does not change form when you mouse over it. So it doesn't look like a button at all, but it's there. I have made a few more changes: mentioned the new dependency on octave 3.6 on the NEWS; and was going to add you to the list of packages authors since some new functions are yours. However, since the list of authors is already multiple authors, rather than adding yet another one, I just replaced it by various authors (as is common for packages that have several authors).
