Most elisp packages work fine with either emacs or emacs-nox installed.
emacs(bin) is provided by both of them, and requiring it in lisp packages
where appropriate is helpful so that the full featured (and much more
dependency heavy) emacs package is not pulled in in setups that are fine
with -nox, such as headless servers etc.
Unfortunately RHEL's emacs / emacs-nox do not seem to provide
emacs(bin), so in that case, since RPM does not allow for either-or
dependencies, what would the best solution be?
1. Requires: emacs and disenfranchise emacs-nox users
2. Requires: /usr/bin/emacs and draw the ire of yum users having to
download filelists.
Thanks,
