pactree: Request for `-o' to Show Optional Dependencies.
Hi, pacman-contrib 1.1.0-1. Investigating https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/50751, that I also suffered yesterday, I see that graphviz doesn't have gtk2 as an optional dependency like the bug report claims. Perhaps that's historic, or it's a dependency of a package that's directly optional. `pactree graphviz' only shows the dependents. It would be nice if there was a `-o' option to treat optional dependencies as mandatory. Perhaps they could be indicated differently in the diagram. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy

False. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/graphviz/ * gtk2 (optional) - gtk output plugin

Sounds potentially useful. Patches would be welcome. -- Sincerely, Johannes Löthberg PGP Key ID: 0x50FB9B273A9D0BB5 PGP Key FP: 5134 EF9E AF65 F95B 6BB1 608E 50FB 9B27 3A9D 0BB5 https://theos.kyriasis.com/~kyrias/
