Hi JPi,

Why not host the octave package on OF as an external package ?

You would simply have a mercurial repo that is updated before each 
release with the result of your script (using, e.g., "hg addremove").

This would make it possible for users to install matgeom using "pkg 
install -forge" as any other OF package.
