I often find myself using the `assume-installed`[1] option of pacman when doing upgrades, since I want to avoid some (for me) nonsensical dependencies to be installed.
Is it possible to configure this in some config file, so I don't have to remember to type it all the time?
You could create a dummy package for it, I guess.
noto-fonts is pulled as a dependency of plasma-integration, but I don't want it installed since it takes over the default fonts (ships an aggressive fontconfig configuration) for many websites, and looks quite bad *for me* (on a 14" FHD display). It's also a 90MB package I don't need.
Hmm, I wonder why it is a hard dependency instead of being used via ttf-font? -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
