Hi,
Seeing the earlier post re. tetex and texlive perhaps there is a case for extending pacman to support alternate dependencies.
By this I mean a package could depend on one of a choice of packages. The syntax could be something like:
depends=( tetex|texlive )
where the individual dependencies retain their current features e.g. versions etc.
Opinions welcomed.
That's what provisions are for.
