No sense in beating a dead horse. In principle this is okay but the question is was this rejected before or after the support for splitted packages in pacman? At example for this a GUI would be even better: pacman -Ss kdeplasma-addons -) If there is a chance that shaman get stable enough to step to extra this would be very nice but it is not a problem if not. See you, Attila

Just curious, where does that come from ? Why couldn't a sufficiently motivated developer write a GUI frontend to libalpm good enough to get it packaged ? This actually happened with shaman, it was packaged in community by the main makepkg developer, Allan !
