big -1 on irssi. if you want to irc, you have networking, and you can `pacman -S<whichever client you want>`. When your ISO is not very recent, pacman -S irssi will fail, pacman -Sy irssi might screw your system, and pacman -Syu irssi will fill your RAM. Why do you -1 this? It is 2.5MB (uncompressed) only and adds no new dependencies.

well, those are some good counter arguments. My main motivation was image size, as we often have core dual images that go well beyond 700MB. Now we are a bit below 700MB, but depending on packaging changes the size sometimes jumps up and down.

But like I said in my previous mail, I don't care, Gerardo should do what he feels is best.

Added irssi, should be available in next testbuilds. -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi \cos^2\alpha + \sin^2\alpha = 1
