New comment by tornaria on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/43311#issuecomment-1500440971 Comment: :man_facepalming: sorry, now I see what you mean. Because we are building `maxima-emacs` and this rundepends on `emacs`, then xbps-src wants to build emacs anyway... So yeah, the only way out of this is to make `maxima-emacs` an optional build. As a workaround, you can use `-I` with xbps-src, then it should not try to build emacs. But it's better to add emacs as an option. As an immediate workaround, try removing `maxima-emacs` from the last line of the template.
