BTW, it has a makedepends on
tcl. We should keep tcl in extra as several other package in core have makedepends on packages from extra.
That's something I really dislike. I try to keep my chroots clean wherever possible.
The Integrity Check tool can detect all repo hierarchy problems. Since I ran it on core/extra, it detected all the core -> extra makedependencies : http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2009-January/009692.html
core/iputils depends on extra/opensp core/iputils depends on extra/libxslt core/iputils depends on extra/docbook-xsl core/madwifi-utils depends on extra/sharutils core/e2fsprogs depends on extra/bc core/ca-certificates depends on extra/ruby core/madwifi depends on extra/sharutils
Check if these packages currently in extra have a (make)depends on other packages from extra and so on. If these packages depends on too many packages from extra, we might be better doing an exception and keep them in extra. Otherwise we should try to move them to core.
And the extra -> community makedependencies appear as missing since community was not considered :
xosd --> 'xmms' flac --> 'xmms'
The makedepends is to build plugins. It was brought up on the ML before and no-one objected. I maintain xmms in community so I could easily bring it back in extra. With a usage of 16.34 %, I would say it has a place in extra.
gnome-speech --> 'espeak'
I would like to know if that goal of having clean chroots is shared and if it's worth opening tasks on the bug tracker for these problems, or if it is a lost cause :)
