Dear Maintainer, here is the associated Ubuntu Launchpad issue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/octave/+bug/1706596 and the Octave Savannah issue: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=47939 I too would appreciate this feature, first for headless compute nodes, as it would install GUI stack down to X-Server which no other application might require, and also single board computers such as the RaspberryPi for which storage may be limited. Thank you Christian Himpe -- Christian Himpe Computational Methods in Systems and Control Theory Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems Sandtorstr. 1 D-39106 Magdeburg Germany
