Hello, I propose to add the ability to add comments to the packages in pacman. For example, sometimes you need to install packages as a optional or makedepend. I always do it with --as-deps key. Later, when you run "pacman -Qdt" to see and cleanup orphan packages you can't distinguish really orphan packages and packages installed via the reasons, describedabove. In this case comments to the packages could be very useful. Sorry fo my english :)
You should open a task in the bugtracker if there's no such request already.
Hello, just a suggestion. Wouldn't tracking which packages where installed as optional dependencies be better? There could be a --as-optdeps option for example.
Hi! That subject will be better handled in a feature request and a possible discussion on pacman-dev mailing list. I believe there is something about enhancing the suport for optiona dependencies and maybe some patches about that. But they didn't go much further. You should search pacman-dev archives and the bug tracker, of course. -- A: Because it obfuscates the reading. Q: Why is top posting so bad?
