How to install, verify and update all Octave packages at once?

Today I have installed Octave 3.8 with GUI on my Windows 7 machine. Is there a command that will install all the available Octave packages ? Then I would also like to see a list of all the installed packages, and update them at times. So is there a command that checks for updates of all the installed packages ? Thank you.

On Windows/Mac there is an installer on http://octave.sourceforge.net/. This installs all(?) packages but you have to load them with "pkg load".

It looks as if pkg update will update all your installed packages. See the documentation on pkg for more details.

I haven't found a way to install all packages, I am doing them one at a time using pkg install -forge <package_name>, which is a bit tedious. It is also giving me errors when trying to install parallel.
