Reviewing Octave Forge packages

Help reviewing Octave-Forge packages

We need help. Here is how:

1. . Pick a package at https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/package-releases/
2. . Copy the check-list below and fill it out, marking each box with `[ ]` with `[x]` for passed, `[n/a]` for non-applicable, `[S]` for skipped (because you cannot) and `[F]` for fails.
3. . Paste your filled in check-list as a comment on the issue above

Checklist

[ ] release candidate installed on latest Octave release
[ ] no compiler errors or serious warnings
[ ] ran all tests using runtests (including tests in the src dir)
[ ] ran doctest on all functions (optional)
[ ] Above steps were run on Octave versions:
     *  ________ [provide list]
[ ] Run generate_package_html
[ ] no makeinfo errors and warnings during HTML build
[ ] unpacked and spot-checked the generated HTML documentation
[ ] NEWS file makes sense, version and date match
[ ] All functions are listed in INDEX

TODO: incorporate into above list

It would be good to document common problems that reviewers can check for, things like

• INDEX is missing some new functions added
• NEWS has not been updated or is missing something big
• Version numbers or dates do not match between DESCRIPTION and NEWS
• Common makeinfo errors like "@bye seen before @end deftypefn"
• DESCRIPTION says pkg works with old Octave 4.x but it fails for me
• Obviously, compiler errors, warnings, test failures
