Octave 4.2 binary + all packages in Linux ?

[roland65]

Hi,

on Windows, Octave 4.2.x + all packages are available in one big zip archive
or exe install. So, it's straightforward to install the whole thing.

On Linux, I didn't find any place to download Octave 4.2.x + all packages.
Distributions like Debian or Ubuntu still provide 4.0.x and individual
packages.

So, I believe we should have the same facility as in Windows to install the
latest Octave + packages in one single binary archive, just like LibreOffice
or Mozilla Firefox.

Does it make sense to you? Is it feasible (I guess there should be library
compatibility issues)?

Any thought would help...
