Hi,
pacman has an option --asdeps so the user can install packages as if it
were deps. In fact, such packages will be treated exactly the same as
normal dependencies:
- if no explicit package depends on them, they will be considered
orphans and are subject to be cleaned up, along with 'real' o
Okay, by now I've/we've realized that the original "explicit
dependencies" terminology is just a way of categorizing installed
optdeps. (I can't think of another use case then that)
When I wrote the first mail I didn't realize this clearly enough yet.
So my explanations and terminology are a b
+if [ ! "$(type -p rsync)" ]; then
+error "missing wget download utility. Install wget."
+exit $_E_MISSING_PROGRAM
+fi
You probably meant 'type -p wget' here?
You can also just check the exit status of type btw, instead of
capturing and comparing its output:.
if ! type

Nice. Thanks.
Dieter
with pacman -Qi or pacman -Si we show the person who packaged it, but not the
maintainer.
This makes it harder to get in touch with the right person then it should be.

have that person to tell me "hey, i'm just the gu
