with ODEPKG no longer available or installable, should this patch be closed?

Simpler licensing.  I also don't mind if you just put your own name in there!

Also, added a description and keywords.

Gnome Software (and other GUI package managers) uses metainfo.xml files to link pkgs as "Add-ons", in this case to GNU Octave.

http://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/sect-Metadata-Addon.html

Here is a patch to add such a file.

I think the file should just be included in the released .tar.gz like DESCRIPTION, NEWS, etc.  But I didn't see a Makefile that actually creates the tarball.  I wasn't sure if I should add it here or not:

PKG_FILES = COPYING DESCRIPTION INDEX $(wildcard src/*) $(wildcard inst/*) \
        doc/odepkg.pdf doc/Makefile $(wildcard doc/*.texi)

(so I did not).
