The provides directive makes sure that people can put something like depends=('xorriso') in their PKGBUILDs and it will automatically use libisoburn instead --
Will this also help users who look for xorriso and do not expect to find it in a library package ?
Yes, pacman(8) will install libisoburn when trying to install xorriso.
optdepends=('tcl: for xorriso-tcltk') [...] I think the combination of these is what we want, isn't it?
It will at least be a sufficient improvement of the currently ill situation. I don't want to pollute your package space with inappropriate pseudo thingies.
So i agree with your proposal. Can you please implement it ? In any case: Thanks for caring.
No, I can't. It is in the [extra] repository, so you will need to ask a developer. The easiest (and best) way of doing this is filing a feature request on our bug tracker [1].
Have a nice day :)
