Let me add more fire here: what I feel is really missing is an option (maybe a pmtransflag for implementation details) for installing optdepends. Otherwise, even with those suggestions, they really remain nothing but some lines of text. It could be implemented as a flag (better imho) or as a pacman.conf option On Friday 06 March 2009 01:15:10 Allan McRae wrote:
Hi,
I have been thinking about optdepends and if we can improve the handling of them. So, given I am better at making wiki pages than patches...

What do people think about this idea? Are there other sensible additions to that proposal?
I know that optdepends were originally for getting rid of informational messages but I have some packages on my system that are installed "explicitly" when they are really (opt)deps for other packages.
