  Description     : CLI for building, running, testing, and managing your Emacs Lisp dependencies

Eask was built to use as a package development tool in your Elisp
packages. But now, Eask supports various types of Emacs Lisp tasks.

Eask is a new build dependency for emacs-dashboard.

Hello Martin,

Typically we try to patch out the need for build-deps like this.  Have
you tried to do that?

Quoting Sean Whitton <spwhitton@spwhitton.name>:

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll do that!

I did that for the current version of the package (which uses cask, not
eask). And I can probably keep it that way. I wonder, if that is the
right direction for the future, in case more and more packages use such
build tools? But maybe this bug is not the right place to discuss it.

Hello,

Typically these things come in and out of fashion quite fast.  If you
find a package where it looks like stripping it out will be a lot of
labour, let's discuss.
