Bug#415780: [Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#415780: octave2.1: Please upgrade gnuplot dependency from suggests: to recommends:
* Rafael Laboissiere [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-03-22 21:49]: * Geraint Paul Bevan [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-03-22 15:56]: I am only lurking and don't have a particularly strong opinion about this, but recommends seems to make more sense to me. Even running a batch job from a terminal it is still usually desirable for the plot function to work correctly. For example, the following should create a file sin.ps whether or not it is executed from a graphics-capable terminal: echo t=[0:0.1:10]'; x=sin(t); plot(t,x); print -depsc2 \sin.ps\\ | octave Thanks for your opinion. Let us collect some more votes before deciding to change the Suggests to Recommends. It seems that Recommends won. I will change this in SVN. -- Rafael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I was quite surprised to see today that aptitude installed octave but that it didn't pull in gnuplot. I would like to hear the opinion of people lurking at the pkg-octave-devel mailing list, both those involved in Debian and in upstream development. If there is a consensus that Suggests: should be upgraded to Recommends:, I will gladly do the change. I have no strong feelings either way.
