[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#341906: octave prints copyright/debugging information on stdout instead of stderr

[Frederik Eaton]

Package: octave2.9
Version: 2.9.4-8
Severity: normal

My version of Octave prints copyright/debugging information on stdout
instead of stderr... It would be better to have it on stderr so that I
can redirect just the output to a pipe or a file.

Thanks,

Frederik
