Hi Josef as Arno as already mentioned, octave-forge is indeed the right place. Can you make an actual octave package? The kind that is installed with the "pkg install" command? It's really easy, just place .m and C++ files in a inst/ and src/ directories respectively. Then create a COPYING file (with the license), a DESCRIPTION file (with version, package name, etc), a Makefile (seems you'll need one). I'll recommend that you also create a NEWS file (packages from octave-forge can be installed without need of manual download from the user but octave will keep this file for users to read). See the already existing octave package for examples. This links shows the image package http://octave.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/octave/trunk/octave-forge/main/image/ Again, as Arno as suggested, it's probably better to have a new package for this code (instead of adding your code another one) since you say that it's dependent on a library difficult to build on other systems. Do you have a better name for it? unuran is not very descriptive (I know we already have some packages with rather cryptic names but that doesn't mean we should repeat this). Yet again, as Arno has said, the UNU.RAN library should be distributed separately.

No need to do this at the time. I've just been specially slow after Christmas but threads haven't been ignored. I have 59 unread octave mails of stuff that I'll try to do on the next few of days.
