Details

Given that `erlang' and `erlang-nox' packages come from the same source tarball
and their differences are not big, it would be great if both PKGBUILD were unified.

A good example of this would be the vim/gvim package:

Reason for closing:  Upstream
Additional comments about closing:  makepkg does not support this and the feature request for supporting this was denied (see  FS#38160 ).

Thanks for this. I'll make a split package.

Currently, this is not possible with pacman (makepkg), because erlang builds differently depending on which packages are available.
If it was possible to have two makedepends arrays and two build functions, it would work.

I'll file a feature request for pacman (makepkg).

The feature request for makepkg ( FS#38160 ) was denied. Closing this feature request.
