Hey, Excerpts from Ralph Corderoy's message of March 15, 2019 12:04:
It would be nice if pactree(8) had an option to include optional dependencies, i.e. treat them as dependencies. I was trying to obtain them as part of `pactree -s -r', but non-reverse would be useful too. I'm not sure if they should be marked as optional in the output somehow, e.g. a trailing ` ?', reminiscent of an extended regular expression's operator.
Indeed, and we have a feature request[0] open for this already. I additionally threw something together for it years ago, but there were some edge cases that patch didn't handle. I might have time to implement it properly some day, but patches would be welcome. [0]: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/61336 -- Sincerely, Johannes Löthberg :: SA0DEM
