Hi Sanja,

Welcome and thank you for your interest.
We have been working on this for a while some time ago and then the
advance got stalled.
Here is a unfinished specification of what we envision of pkg
http://wiki.octave.org/OEP:pkg
And here are reports of what has been done in the previous attempt

Have you installed/used packages in the past?

Let us know if you have questions?

Cheers
