hi Rafael, thanks a lot for getting back to me.

I figured it out and corrected the issue - it appears that dh_octave 
installed the .m files to the main package - which I named it as jsonlab 
(octave-jsonlab is a subpackage).

after renaming the main package to octave-jsonlab, the package is now 
created correctly.


by the way, I am working on packaging a list of octave toolboxes (some 
pure .m files, some others with a mex file) made by my lab. see my 
worklist here

So far, I've uploaded 3 of them and am currently looking for sponsors. 
Would you be interested in sponsoring my packages? I would also love to 
work with someone and learn the path to become a maintainer - at least 
to maintain my own packages in the future.

thanks

Qianqian
