*sigh* Why? So, something like gcc42-c++ would no longer
be sufficient? There's nothing in this -devel package which
requires gcc-c++ to be present.
I added this because octave-devel contains a script called mkoctfile
that is used to compile dynamically loadable modules for octave.
mkoctfile is basically a wrapper around g++, so it breaks if g++ is not
present on the system, and it is the primary reason for installing
octave-devel; octave-devel is not very useful without it. However, I
recently discovered that it is possible to install octave-devel and all
of its dependencies without installing any compilers, so I added this.
If I have a minimal system with octave on it but no compilers, and I
decide to write a module in c++, I'd like to yum install octave-devel
and know that the mkoctfile script will work, which wasn't the case before.
