[pacman-dev] [Fwd: desc/.PKGINFO files: I need help to understand the values of some variables]
I have one question about pacman and I was in a hoping that I write to the right mailing list, but I didn't find in the archives similar posts. So that's why I write here... sorry if I mistook. -- Anna Ivanova +7 (999) 105-20-48

Why is your actual message an attachment to this one???
- backup - checkdepend - makedepend - makepkgopt
As you may saw, I wasn't able to correlate it all and I need some help. I know nothing about '%REASON%', 'checkdepend', 'makepkgopt' and why there's no 'makedepend' in desc files (or is there?).
Would you give me some information about or manual to it all? It would be really great for me.
Also I want to contribute to arch projects later, where can I get some information about?
%REASON% is whether it was installed explicitly or as a dependency for another package. checkdepends, makedepends, and makepkgopt are only relevant for makepkg itself, pacman doesn't use them. .PKGINFO is not the same as desc, some things are simply ignored. -- Eli Schwartz

That's how Evolution works, I was expecting this to be the correct method.

Thank you, it explains a lot. -- Anna Ivanova +7 (999) 105-20-48

Because they forwarded it rather than just re-sending it to this ML. -- Sincerely, Johannes Löthberg PGP Key ID: 0x50FB9B273A9D0BB5 https://theos.kyriasis.com/~kyrias/
