Hi,
this package brings in our clean chroots libgcrypt dependency.
Until recently, gnutls had libcrypt as dependency but now it relies on nettle. That means that packages linked to gnutls and relied on libgcrypt dependency from it, will be broken.
We have a gnutls 3.0.0 rebuild in progress in staging and because libgcrypt is in our clean chroots, everything is fine, functionality wise but I noticed that we skipped adding ligcrypt to dependency mostly because namcap and us assume that everybody have base group installed.
Please check your packages to see if they link to libgcrypt and add it to dependency if they do.
-1 to removing cryptsetup from base. Note that cryptsetup is an essential tool for setups with system encryption enabled and is required during boot time. It should also stay on our CDs (not only as available package but also installed on the root-image to allow for using the CD as a Live CD, even if partitions are encrypted; AIF probably depends on it as well). Additionally, removing cryptsetup from base will require users to install it manually when using mkinitcpio's "encrypt" hook. If you decide to remove it anyway, keep in mind to: * Keep it on our Live CDs. * Add a note to our default "/etc/mkinitcpio.conf". * Maybe also add some note in AIF.

I agree with Lukas and support his arguments so another -1 for removing the package from the base group. -- Jabber: atsutane@freethoughts.de Blog: http://atsutane.freethoughts.de/ GPG-Key: 295AFBF4 FP: 39F8 80E5 0E49 A4D1 1341 E8F9 39E4 F17F 295A FBF4
