Re: [PATCH] gnu: octave: Update to 4.0.2.

        I'm not a guix developer, neither a guix user yet, but I follow #guix 
and
        this list, to get prepared :) and read good advice and good guile
        scheme techniques...

So, starting with version 4.0.x, octave _does_ include a GUI by default, and it
launches itself using this GUI by default [which is a terrible shame afaic, but
that's not the opinion of the octave developers].

So the GUI is in your package, and people who would want to use octave the good 
old
way, in a terminal or in emacs inferior mode much launch it with the --no-gui 
option.

Hope this info is useful,
David
