[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#741097: octave: nox package of Octave

[Arno Onken]

Package: octave
Version: 3.8.0-5
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Starting with version 3.8, the octave package contains a GUI based on
the Qt toolkit. An `octave-cli' executable which is not linked against
Qt is provided in the package, but there is no octave package that does
not depend on Qt. Packages like emacs and gnuplot have nox alternatives.
A similar octave package would be a great asset.
