Hello...
I was reading "Arch Wiki" and felt curious about that difference between extra and community repo.
Some packages, such as "meson" is in the "extra" repo, whereas "ninja" is in "community" repo. The interesting fact is that - is an implicit dependency to "meson". So why that is (ninja) in the community repo? A more important question is why meson and ninja are not in [core] and base group given that they are build-dependencies of systemd?
Cheers, L. Probably because they're only make depends like you said. So in a user's system make depends are not needed to install packages nor do they
