Packages
Community packages
These packages are maintained by a community of Octave Forge and Octave developers in a spirit of collaboration. The main repository for development is located at SourceForge. Community packages are coordinated between each other and with Octave regarding compatibility, naming of functions, and location of individual functions or groups of functions.
