Description Pavel Shirov 2006-05-29 02:19:40 UTC

erlang-10.2.5 (last stable version) doesn't have tcltk USE flag, and thus even with USE="-X" emerge will try to install tcltk and X server:

linux ~ # emerge -pv erlang

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

opposed to erlang-10.2.7 and 10.2.10:

linux ~ # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" USE="-tcltk" emerge -pv =erlang-10.2.7

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

I am also unhappy with this non-optional dependency on tk and therefore on X.
Also see bugs 104578 and 97798.

Would you mind upgrading to a testing version? I won't change a stable ebuild in such a way. >=10.2.7 have USE=tk now, see bug 17808.
