document which packages are obsoleted by tokamak

[flying-sheep]

so i found out i can disable

• language-rust
• terminal-plus
• build-cargo

but not

• linter-rust

by trial and error. it would be nice to have this on the webpage or readme

Can you please clarify this with what did you see as error?
Currently I had disabled linter-rust for example and it doesn't do linting?

Probably you don't want to see the statusbar at the bottom after disabling linter-rust right?
If it is like that linter is a atom plugin that serves as a plugin base for linting multiple languages with itself. First you can disable linter-rust then linter maybe? This way can be your solution.

I think the question:

Which other rust packages are redundant with tokamak and which can be used complementary?

At least that is what I was wondering too. So a short Statement like "you might want to combine this package with X, but you won't need Y" would help because other people might be wondering which packages they need.

Which other rust packages are redundant with tokamak and which can be used complementary?

exactly. tokamak includes a rust grammar, so also installing language-rust is redundant and you end up with two selectable rust grammars.

so i would like tokamak to list packages that you can disable without losing functionality after installing tokamak

OK the thing is linter-rust shows language-rust as dependency.
Yeah and we don't need grammar this is completely true, but we have contributed to original grammar by adding some fields which is not in language-rust.
https://github.com/AtomLinter/linter-rust/blob/master/package.json

So there are two options for that:

• Use our own grammar - fork linter-rust and modify it for not using language-rust as package-dep
• Use default grammar supplied by language-rust and remove default grammar in grammars. (In that case we couldn't update grammars by ourselves)

Your choice, your style.

@colin-kiegel
I couldn't understand what you mean by

you might want to combine this package with X, but you won't need Y

and redundant and complementary part. Redundant part is probably grammar part and complementary part is rest of it. Because if I exclude linter there will be no linter as you can think of.

in the first comment: language-rust, terminal-plus, build-cargo are redundant; linter-rust is complementary

[colin-kiegel]

Isn't it possible to contribute the grammar changes to language-rust upstream?

If that works out, tokamak could define language-rust as a dependency. Adding linter-rust wouldn't do any harm then.

[flying-sheep]

huh? how does it do harm now?

[colin-kiegel]

sorry for the bad choice of words: Adding linter-rust wouldn't install any redundant dependencies then.

Better? :-)

Long time no see! Sorry for that. I will update repo wiki with this information too. Thanks for feedback.
