I don't know what's worse - installing Vala to build these from AUR or read the 1 millionth request to update Vala :)
The thing is we have to include whatever is a makedep in the repos (because we provide ABS; nothing to do with AUR). A more precise check: == extra == gmpc makedepends on vala midori makedepends on vala midori optdepends on vala == community == python-matplotlib optdepends on vala libdesktop-agnostic makedepends on vala awn-extras-applets makedepends on vala avant-window-navigator makedepends on vala shotwell makedepends on vala As a distro, we only update packages to "latest stable". There are a few exceptions, especially those that are slow in releasing stable versions of their software or are generally high-level tools that rarely break. So if the maintainer of vala does not want to update to the devel version, it is perfectly reasonable, and correct. -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD
