[pacman-dev] [PATCH v2 0/6] Patches for better optdep support

[Benedikt Morbach]

Resend, as I've incorporated Dan's suggestions from last time.

The feature set is still the same, but I've thought about how removal of optdepends should work.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Moben/Pacman_OptDepends


This implements most features from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Allan/Pacman_OptDepends

What is there:
    - No regressions afaics
    - Only show uninstalled optdepends during install/upgrade
    - In package info, show [installed] after installed optdepends
    - In package info (local or -ii) show packages which optionally depend on the queried package
    - '-Qt' doesn't consider optdepends to be orphans, unless '--nooptdeps/-n' is given

What is still missing:
    - Show which of the packages listed by '-Qtn' is an optdepend and what optdeps on it
    - In package info display the description alongside the "reverse optdeps"
    - Recursive removal of unneeded optdeps
    - Anything listed under "Other Ideas"
    - Tests (mainly needed for the package removal stuff I think)
    - Docs with less sucky english ;-)

PS: I'll start working on the rest soon, but that might be delayed
    due to me going on vacation in the first two weeks of August ;-)



Benedikt Morbach (6):
  Split optdep into alpm_depend_t and description
  Hook new optdepend structures up
  Only display uninstalled optdepends during install/upgrade
  Show optdep install status in package info
  optdepends are not orphans unless --nooptdepends is specified
  Make package info show optional requirements
