I think it would be highly useful if "pkg install ARGUMENT" checked ARGUMENT against a regexp to see whether it looks like a URL or not. The user should not need to differentiate with a "-url" option, since a URL is easily differentiable on its own.

We should discuss an overall strategy for package signing, but I'm not prepared to start it right now...

The added feature is yet another dangerous thing...

Maybe the -url option should accept, or even require, that the user specifies a checksum.

Can you try the attached cset.  Adds a -url option and hopefully doesn't break the -forge option.

(file #40143)

pkg install url

In conjunction with the the new organisation of octave forge
I think we should add this feature, and give it a try.

If we add it but not advertise it, then some of the developers could try it.

If latter it looks like a bad idea it can easily be removed.
