I'm really supposed to install 1.2GB of fonts instead of just few KBs? $ pacman -Si texlive-fontsextra | grep Installed Installed Size : 1202.02 MiB $ pacman -Qi fontawesome.sty | grep Installed Installed Size : 126.00 KiB Also, if this is the case, I would expect textlive-fontsextra to replace fontawesome.sty or that fontawesome.sty can be put again on AUR with conflicts=('texlive-fontsextra'). -- Andrea Scarpino (former) Arch Linux Developer

I don't think potentially having a million AUR packages duplicating the files that are already in official Arch Linux packages is feasible at all. If you want to be able to install single CTAN packages using pacman, maybe tllocalmgr-git [1,2] is something for you.
