Hello,

On yet another -Syu this morning I was asked whether to replace erlang-nox by erlang. Are we dropping the -nox variant? I'm using -nox for I don't need GUI in erlang now; also wxgtk pulls in gstreamer as a dependency, which I don't like.

It's still here: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=erlang-nox&maintainer=&flagged=

I'm aware of this --- but it's older than `erlang'. And `erlang' stated it will replace `erlang-nox', so I'm wondering about this.

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/erlang-nox/ Provides: erlang Conflicts: erlang Reverse Conflicts: erlang You install one or the other: erlang conflicts with erlang-nox and vice versa.

Hi, erlang-nox maintainer (and erlang co-maintainer) here. I'm trying to make it so that only erlang-nox is needed for erlang server packages, while erlang can be installed for those who doesn't care about the extra disk space requirements (and users of applications like Wings 3D). I recently received an email in connection with ejabbered and it seems like the general consensus for server-applications written in erlang is that only erlang-nox is desirable (even though X is enabled by default, by the Erlang upstream developers). I see that "replaces" was a bit excessive, so I'll fix that. -- Best regards, Alexander Rødseth xyproto / TU
