I added code to the octave-forge CVS to create a file with the MD5 sum
of all of the package files and add it to the website. I've uploaded it
to the test website in
http://octave.dbateman.org/packages.md5
You should be able to use this file to identify the new packages and
check the integrity of downloaded files. This would be easier if the
m5sum function I sent earlier today was in octave :-)
