When emerging arnesi, it pulls in slime because of the app-emacs/slime RDEPEND entry. Arnesi contains a system, slime-extras, that depends on swank. However, if you don't use emacs, you won't need the slime-extras functions. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make sure you don't have slime (and emacs) installed 2. emerge arnesi Actual Results: slime and emacs (and related ebuilds) are also emerged. Expected Results: if make.conf contains -emacs, arnesi should not pull in emacs since it doesn't require it. I would expect that the slime dependency is made conditional on either a slime or emacs USE flag.
This now depends on USE flag "slime".
