I know there's been a couple of applications in the last few days, and another has just started, so please don't be annoyed. The unlucky TU this time is Chris Brannon
I'm glad to sponsor Ray's application. His packaging skills are excellent. He's competent, and he has a good attitude. Ray will make a great addition to the team. This begins the discussion period.
1) I remember we used to tell each other that we don't need to state dependencies from [core] in AUR, how true is this? Are we looking at just the base group or is it totally a matter of consistency?
I've heard arguments in favor of including dependencies from the base and base-devel groups. Some constrained environments, such as live CDs, might not have all of base and base-devel installed. Perhaps it's better to specify things explicitly. This topic seems to be perennial. -- Chris
