> Hi everyone,

> As recently pointed out in http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=37062&p=1
> the xorg dummy package has been removed.  While this could have been done a
> bit more elegantly and with warning, it's been done, and I'm post-emptively
> giving warning now I guess.

> Anyone maintaining packages with the dependency on 'xorg' please update your
> packages.  Nothing should EVER depend on 'xorg' - use namcap to find out what
> the true deps to your package are and add them.  Some packages in extra,
> community, and AUR-unsupported probably need fixes.
>
> To preserve convenience of installing Xorg, we're considering doing an xorg
> group between the packages previously pulled by the xorg metapackage.  I'll
> follow up to this email when that's done.
