My priority is to construct a package which Dirk can add to Debian.  Grabbing
things piecemeal is not appropriate for those of us with slow internet
connections.

Automating upload/download has merit.  Anyone know if sf projects can
host specialized cgi scripts?  I presume we would have a client process
which keeps a local copy of the SF tree, and accepts commands to update
the client tree, request new functions, request entire packages, post
new functions or post entire packages.  The server process would have
to keep track of dependencies.  Is there already code around to do this
sort of thing?

That would be nice.  I'll create the octave-cvs mailing list.
