Right now sudo is in Extra. I request to move it to Core/base-devel because it is needed by makepkg to be used by user (which is the right way).

Seems reasonable to me, +1 as long as it doesn't pull in other deps and has maintainer(s).

I will continue to maintain sudo in whatever location y'all deem fit. At the moment, it sounds like [core] but maybe not base-devel.

It only depends on pam and glibc.

I vote it moves to core. Whether in base or base-devel is not a huge deal to me, though it fits better in base.

Hm, csup is like another candidate for base-devel - required by abs. abs can also work with cvsup but we're going to dump it anyway because it's non-portable. It's only 49,6K, dependencies are gcc, zlib and openssl (all in Core). gcc dependency should be changed to gcc-libs, of course. What do you think?

Feel free to commit the change to CVS to change that dependency from gcc to gcc-libs, even if you don't do a rebuild. Second, if we do move it, we should dump cvsup, not flounder around with what we are doing now. But the reasons against moving it (and I hate to say it) is that we may not continue to use CVS so its use will no longer be necessary. -Dan
