Hey,
Why does netctl provide /usr/bin/wifi-menu which is unusable at all,
given the fact it needs /usr/bin/dialog to operate, and this is not a
hard dependency of the package?
I don't really get a point of providing a binary/script that doesn't
work at all. What is it in the package for?
If adding a dependency on dialog (big deal - 200KB) is not an option,
why not extract wifi-menu to a separate package? This sounds like the
best approach - the package could depend not only on dialog, but also on
wpa_supplicant, dhcpcd and other package that anyone installs anyway to
get wifi-menu working.
