Hello,

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
