I didn't mean to be offensive at all - just in case you misunderstood my
mail. I just wondered if we should include the same package with
different sets of compilation options in [community] at the same time.
In my understanding, the Arch Way implies that there shouldn't be
hundreds of versions with different patches or compilation options in
the repositories, but only a single package that provides a working
environment with sane defaults and as little patching as possible.
Users, who would like to have some feature enabled/disabled, can use the
ABS to build modified packages and can upload such modified packages to
the AUR if they want to share them.

Of course, there are exceptions. boinc-nox and emacs-nox are probably in
the repos because there's a large number of users that don't need X
support and building customized packages takes a while (just a guess).
So if there's a good reason to include mtr-cli as well, I don't have any
objections.

's alright then. Just wondered as it was in the list of packages you'd
like to include in [community] :)
