Hello Marco,

Do you mean that you create cygwin packages directly from snapshots of 
the repository of each Octave package ?

If you do that, the interval package is not the only package with which 
you will have problems. The stk package too. And probably others.

Creating a release from the source files from the repository is the job 
of the package maintainer. There is no standardized way of doing this, 
currently (for instance, "make dist"). Some packages require special 
steps during the release process. Other are more straightforward. Only 
the package maintainer knows for sure.

Why not get the released tarball directly from SourceForge ?
