No, I haven't had time to look at it. I'm a bit busy for the near future. tors 8 mars 2018 kl. 13:21 skrev Actionless Loveless < actionless.loveless@gmail.com>:
Hi Mikael! Are you already sitting on the patch for that feature?

I think it's a great idea. When searching by name, i think the rpc should at least also search by the "replaces" attribute too. Provides would be a separate query but it could also be the same.
Cheers, Mikael

Currently AUR web interface is able to resolve the dependencies in case if the dependendent package is provided by another package (see python2-catkin-pkg in the dependencies list): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ros-indigo-catkin/
However AUR RPC is not allowing querying by Provides field but only by `name`, `name-desc` and `maintainer` fields: https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc.php
The discussion about that problem (https://github.com/ actionless/pikaur/issues/53) resulted in at least 3 possible ways to resolve that issue: - adding name-desc-provides filter - adding provides filter - when searching by name match not only Name field but also Provides field
Please let me know if you're OK with one of the following approaches or propose another one. And if you fine with the idea let me know if you can implement such filter or I should send a patch. Also related ticket: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/49090
All best, Yauheni Kirylau
