This is kind of a nonsensical arbitrary decision. Moving forward Erlang's preference is to use wx for GUI frontends (in particular the debugging and monitoring tools included with the Distribution) eventually deprecating the old tk based tools. It seems odd that a core part of a language's distribution is being dropped to support one application.
If space on the CD is the issue then a more sensible decision would be to build an embedded Erlang just for CouchDB's use and allow Erlang to exist as most users would expect. Erlang has been known to compile down to as much as 4Mb for embedded apps. Sucks a bit for maintenance though. -- erlang should not depend on wxwidgets2.8 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438365 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
