The list of packages contained in earlier base group is given by https://www.archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/base/ link, like wise what are the stuff does the latest base package will install? i got only the dependencies list in here https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/any/base/ On Sat, 12 Oct 2019 at 04:11, Eli Schwartz via arch-general < arch-general@archlinux.org> wrote:

I see in the archive[1] that these were deleted for not following the submission guidelines[2]. I'm not sure how that's the case, unless the logic is that since they merely bundle packages in Community that they violate rule #1?
If that's the logic, does that mean any meta packages in the AUR violate the submission guidelines?
Can someone clarify? I'm genuinely a little confused here ...

Metapackages are a tough question, but in this case a metapackage to ease installation which requires one to use the AUR to get the metapackage seems to be quite pointless. Besides which, uploading a package as a reactive measure due to the lack of clarity with the former base group feels odd when people are working behind the scenes to try to figure out what a proper solution in the right place should look like.
