[erlang-questions] EPEL Erlang RPM dependencies

[Matt McClure]

I just enabled the EPEL erlang repo
<http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/peter/erlang/epel-$releasever/$basearch/>
and I was suprised to see the next `yum -y upgrade` install a slew of
audio and video related packages. It looks like erlang-wx and possibly
others require them, and that erlang requires all of the erlang-*
packages. Is there a way to install a leaner erlang via the RPMs?

Thanks,
Matt
