Re: [pacman-dev] [PATCH] add makedepends to package and database

Hi,

I think it would be nice to have information about makedepnds available in each pacakge and the pacakge database. Think about rebuilds (statically linked) or the question if a certain package can be (re)moved.

I'm not really a fan of this as it fills the PKGINFO file and pacman DB with info that is really not needed. At the moment you can simply grep the ABS tree to check for depends/makedepends. Allan
