Hi,
not a dev, too. But didn’t the package log help to figure out, what you need?
See Split the package based on plugins with external dependencies <https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/vlc/-/commit/ d476e0267ca5e6952a740381b03eb42a1cbf7359> that is linked on the package page Arch Linux - vlc 3.0.21-26 (x86_64) <https://archlinux.org/ packages/extra/x86_64/vlc/>.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen | Kind regards Uwe
Thanks Uwe, But I'm not sure looking at the diff helps. Unless we know whether "All" plugins were originally included, or some subset, then all we see in the PKGBUILD diff is apparently everything with external dependencies apart from gcc-libs, glibc and libvlc being moved to subpackages? The remaining 900+ lines of PKGBUILD isn't going to be clear to your average Arch user. Even those familiar with what a PKGBUILD is will need to go through and create a list of what moved and what wasn't there originally. Were "All" originally in the Arch VLC package? If so, then a list from the link can be made. It would be helpful if the wiki was updated with a short discussion about the change beyond saying "see optional dependencies". That's not really helpful to figure this out. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
