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

[Mike Miller]

If this bug is still of interest, I think a useful first step would be
for someone to adapt the octave source package and add the appropriate
--without-X options. Once there are proof of concept binary packages
built without any graphical dependencies, then a useful disk usage
comparison can be done.

Of course it would be even more helpful if someone were interested
enough to help work on the full packaging changes needed to build octave
both with and without all graphical libraries. I suspect an octave-nox
package might also imply liboctave-noxN and liboctave-nox-dev packages,
and each would have a Conflicts on its counterpart.
