(sorry, sent only to sören, it should have gone to everyone!)

I have now released a new version of the sockets package and uploaded
its html documentation. Some notes, following the manual on
http://octave.sourceforge.net/test/developers.html

1)
The owner and/or rights on the file area may have been upset by my
tries. If there is some clever automatic linking I might have screwed
up. Can someone who knows how the file area on
/home/frs/project/o/oc/octave/Octave Forge Packages/Individual Package
Releases
should work check that it looks ok?

2)
As Sören pointed out, the generate_html package only runs in octave>3.2.
Maybe this can be clarified on the instruction page above.

3)
How is the index on http://octave.sourceforge.net/test/packages.php
generated?

4)
As Carlo (?) pointed out, it feels dangerous when every maintainer have
to run rm -rf
I think the suggestion of using a low number of "release persons" do the
dangerous part and having each package maintainer tag their package
might help, although we introduce latency in the chain.

5)
Should we keep older versions of packages in the file area on source
forge? If so, I think we have to think the structure over has the number
of packages is quite big and the number of releases grows with time. It
will be tricky to navigate. Should we have a separate "older" directory
where one dumps the older releases upon the release of a new one?


It seems like the per-package release system works at least partly!
Great work!
Paul
