Have you looked at netctl's optional dependencies?
Of course I have but the question is - what is the point of providing a binary that doesn't work at all without some optdepends? Optdepends are used for software like lighttpd or apache where some optional modules may need these optdepends. /usr/bin/wifi-menu is a first class citizen of this package, not just some optional module. I don't know of any other package that would do the same.
I've really got to wonder what the rational is here, he doesn't want to pay attention to pacman's output, maybe?
I do pay attention to the output, but current state of wifi-menu in netctl is a nonsense. And what is a nonsense needs to be fixed, right? Three other people already agree with me. -- Kind regards, Damian Nowak StratusHost www.AtlasHost.eu
