Greetings again. I'm not sure if this request should be done to this
mailing list or as a PR, but here goes.
I run FreeBSD as a server, not as a desktop. Some of my users want
Emacs. If I pull down the prebuilt binary, it requires a zillon
X11-related packages that are of no use on my system. If I go to
/usr/ports/editors/emacs and build with WITHOUT_X11, I still need to
install a bunch of building tools that are basically unneeded by
anything other than building Emacs.
It would be nice if the prebuilt binaries had an emacs-nox11.
