Why is this relevant for upstream at this point? I searched in the upstream maintainers archives but I couldn't find any proposal to abandon support for command line only compilation or compilation without Java or LLVM altogether. I was therefore assuming that this is a packaging and compile options only issue. > BTW, can you give an example of one of your low ressource machines? I was mostly referring to my SheevaPlug, FritzBox and Android device with a Debian chroot. But then there is also my Neo Freerunner GTA02 and Rasberry Pi. Granted, I could extend disk space for some of these devices but that can be a pain. The GTA02, for instance, is extremely picky about supported SD cards. Even without any graphical feedback, I find Octave very useful in batch mode and for extended calculator-like operation on the move. Again, please keep in mind that this is a whishlist bug report. I would certainly have use for a limited resource package, but maybe that's just me.
