About this one : http://repo.or.cz/w/pacman.git?a=commitdiff;h=86bcb91eddee03952f6455a1295c5d... I think it's interesting to know Aurelien wanted to take the opposite road. See item 5 there : http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2006-March/005700.html I'm not criticizing anything myself though, I've personally no opinion on this, just found it funny ;) Also, that's just based on the description of the commit, I didn't really look at the changes. Maybe it's because of the added arch suffix that complicated things?
That is a premature optimization. We already got rid of a lot of them because it just complicates things. There is no reason that the name and version should not be in the package. -Dan
