Can't you somehow do something corresponding to:

umask 022

hg clone ssh://address@hidden/p/octave/package-name package-name

cd package-name

hg archive -t files ../package-name-version

cd ../package-name-version

rm .hg*

cd src

./bootstrap

rm -r autom4te.cache

cd ../..

tar -czf package-name-version.tar.gz package-name-version/

, install the package 'package-name-version.tar.gz' and test it?

Making a release is work not only for me but also for others, and
there shouldn't be many releases only for testing and finding
errors. Also, there was a release of the 3 packages just recently.


Can somebody inform me what procedure is followed to release an Octave
package for Windows? Doesn't the package need to be cross-compiled
with MXE? Who does this?

Yes I can do it that way, but I thought we were getting ready for the new release.

If you want to wait for the official release then that is up to you.
