[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62362] __unimplemented__.m package function lists are out of date

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Update of bug #62362 (project octave):

                 Release:                   7.1.0 => dev                    
                 Summary: 'help nlinfit' points to statistics package instead
of optim => __unimplemented__.m package function lists are out of date

Follow-up Comment #4:

It would only take a minute or so to tweak the three optim function cases
mentioned in comment #0, but looking at the optim function list on Octave
Forge [1] (which I believe hasn't been updated in years) there are 55
functions listed while the ___unimplemented___.m file on default lists about
20. So, there definitely seems to be a need to at least bring it up to date,
likely the same for all of the packages. Ideally it would be brought up to
date with the latest releases. Could bring it up to date with the out-of-date
Octave Forge manually with some scripting or clever copy/paste/reformatting
from the website. But I also noticed that there are a lot of package function
names in ___unimplemented___.m that haven't been implemented yet.  It's not
clear how the list of functions that 'should be' in the package was generated.
Just copy/pasting the list from Octave Forge, we'll lose all of those. 

Does anyone know where those came from? Any idea how to update a package
function list but distinguish between those 'not yet' functions from those
that may have been removed or moved elsewhere?
