Re: [PRQ#40430] Deletion Request for gnome-meta

If you just install the group, new additions to it will not automatically be installed during system updates. The meta package guarantees you always have all group packages installed, and additionally, packages no longer part of the group will become orphans and easy to clean up. Take a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Meta_package_and_package_group. On 3/2/23 01:12, notify@aur.archlinux.org wrote:

There is no point in creating a meta package for a group.

sudo pacman -S <group>
