[aur-general] Can we have optional deps on AUR packages?
I just wanted to clear this up with the other TUs: Is it ok for [community] packages to have optional deps on AUR packages or not?

I used to loudly oppose that, but now I think it's fine as long as the description states that given optdep is in AUR. I guess arch-dev-public is better place for this discussion. Bartłomiej

I disagree, optdeps from the AUR would seem to be supported except that they are not. So it would be a lot better to just move those packages to [community], which is faster and easier for users.

Yes P.S. I noticed that for ansible you already started mentioning the AUR in optdeps. Why start implementing it before we actually came to a solution?! -- Jelle van der Waa

Because I'm going to have the optdeps there anyway and in this thread we either agree that the current way is ok (in which case I don't have to change anything) or we decide that it's not ok and then I'm going to pull in the optdeps into [community]. I'm going to re-start this discussion in arch-dev-public in case some people are not subscribed to aur-general.
