Re: Slimming emacs-nox

Hi,

I don't read debian-emacsen regularily, so this is probably a rather
late reply.

Please don't drop GPM support. IMHO it's rather important if you use
emacs without X on a console.

I'm totally happy with all the other suggested parameters, especially
with "--without-dbus". Having the possibility to have an emacs package
without pulling dbus bloat in would be great.

I don't see any usefulness of keeping dbus support. Where do I need
that?
