[arch-general] Kodi in [community-testing]

2014-12-29 Thread Jameson
Is anyone else trying this out, yet? Seems to be working pretty well for me, so far. I even re-packaged kodi-pvr-addons-git without the -git, so I could build their RC3 package against the non-git version of kodi. I'm just curious if anyone else has hit any big problems, yet. =-Jameson

[arch-general] depends vs. optdepends

2014-12-29 Thread Troy Engel
So, I found 4 executable/binary files installed (out of thousands - good job guys) that fail a 'ldd' check (missing shared libraries). The packages in question mark the missing libraries as 'optdepends' so they never get installed - I filed 4 bug reports, all 4 got closed as not a bug by the same

Arch currently uses optional dependencies even when it means that executables provided by the package aren't going to work with the minimal set of dependencies. The packages could be split up more to avoid this without pulling in more stuff, but it's not what packagers usually choose to it. It's a

To use the sensord example: in lm_sensors/PKGBUILD: optdepends=('rrdtool: for logging with sensord') I am unsure if there is any way to be more blatantly clear than it is already. :p This is a phenomenal non-issue, and the perfect example of why optdepends exists in the first place... as has
