[elpa] ZNC package

[elpa] ZNC package

[Cédric Chépied]

Hi,

In my package list, znc can't be installed anymore because it is
incompatible. It depends on ERC which can't be installed. ERC is built in Emacs
but is in the list.

Znc works (I installed it from github) the only problem is the dependency. ERC
should be added in built-in packages list or removed from the dependencies list.

There are other packages with the same problem (erc-tweet, erc-youtube).

Regards,

I ran into that as well. For the cases I looked into, the packages
were requiring an erc version higher than the built-in one, this
higher version was only available through marmalade (and since I don't
have marmalade configured, they were flagged as incompatible). Would
this be the case of your package as well?

One solution for this would be for the most recent erc version to be
distributed on GElpa (which is configured for everyone).

In general though, a package that's on Melpa shouldn't depend on a
package that's *only* on Marmalade, and a package on Marmalade
shouldn't depend on a package that's *only* on Melpa. Or, in the very
least, they should say so in the installation instructions.

This is my configuration:

(setq package-archives '(("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
                         ("marmalade" . "https://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")
                         ("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/")))

And I have no erc package.

You're right. Sorry. Everything I said before was about flymake, not
erc (I got confused).
I think erc indeed has a problem (which I'm explicitly asking elsewhere).
