Re: [arch-general] `base` group replaced by mandatory `base`, package - manual intervention required

Thank you. It would be wonderful to be given reasons why. That would help
me contribute in a more acceptable way moving forward, which is ultimately
my personal goal.

As such, time can be made to contribute, but time can't be given to explain
why a moderative action was taken and how best to proceed in the future.

So again, thank you.

[arch-general] `base` group replaced by mandatory `base`, package - manual intervention required

2019-10-10 Thread John Crist via arch-general
I've submitted `base-extras` to the AUR at 
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/base-extras/ that contains the 
missing packages from `base` if someone REALLY wants it.

Sounds good to me - do you have a suggested list of packages for
base-extras or at least the list of what was pulled from the old base.


Here's a diff of what was in the `base` group vs what is now in the 
`base` metapackage:


$ comm -23 <(pacman -Sgq base | sort) <(expac -S "%D" base | tr -s " " "\n" | 
sort)

cryptsetup
device-mapper
dhcpcd
diffutils
e2fsprogs
inetutils
jfsutils
less
linux
linux-firmware
logrotate
lvm2
man-db
man-pages
mdadm
nano
netctl
perl
reiserfsprogs
s-nail
sysfsutils
texinfo
usbutils
vi
which
xfsprogs
