Martin, I was a bit too hasty in my previous reply. It appears that Alertmanager compresses and encodes all the web UI assets a Go "blob" ( https://github.com/prometheus/alertmanager/blob/master/ui/bindata.go). Elm libraries are only needed if you intend to hack / develop the web UI.
I just built a fully functional alertmanager binary from a git clone, with no Elm or Haskell or Node.js anywhere to be seen on my system. This is why I mistakenly thought that the aforementioned RPMs had stripped the UI completely, when in fact it is simply compiled into the alertmanager binary. Does this simplify things somewhat? I suppose it just leaves the vendored Go libs as a possible sticking point. Best, Daniel
