Aura 4 has been released. If instead you wish you keep using the Haskell-based v3 series, please install:

Well, transferring the packages from makedepends to depends is very invasive since it would change real behaviour instead of only the info displayed on this page. You wouldn't expect firefox to need gcc installed to run, I presume. In any case, the information is already available, in the PKGBUILD, which should at least be skimmed when installing packages from AUR to ensure it's not something doing something flat-out malicious. That said, having the AUR software also parse makedepends and display it here would be an obvious improvement.

Great package manager, fosskers, thanks for maintaining!

I don't mean to argue with the man pages, but from the perspective of someone coming to the AUR for a package it seems like building the package is sort of the whole objective. Although the packages might not be necessary to run post-build, but it would be helpful for the user to have a list of the necessary packages to get it up and running. Wagnerlia's suggestion for documenting the build dependencies on the wiki page seems like a good solution. Alternatively, maybe the AUR should differentiate between run and build dependencies and list both? Dreaming big :)

Thanks, for a very nice package! Lots of haskell dependencies, though. Maybe you could mention this somewhere on the aura wiki page, so people will be prepared. The following will be installed to build aura: * ghc (7.4.2-1), haskell-transformers (0.3.0.0-1), haskell-mtl (2.1.1-1), haskell-regex-base (0.93.2-6), haskell-regex-posix (0.95.2-1), * aur/haskell-ansi-terminal (0.5.5-20), * aur/haskell-curl (1.3.7-20), haskell-text (0.11.2.1-1), haskell-parsec (3.1.2-2), haskell-syb (0.3.6.1-1) * aur/haskell-json (0.5-2), aur/aura (1.0.0.0-1) Almost 600MB of these can be removed afterwards according to aura -O: haskell-ansi-terminal haskell-curl haskell-json haskell-regex-posix haskell-parsec haskell-regex-base haskell-syb haskell-mtl haskell-text haskell-transformers ghc

dkasak is actually right, and I was a bit hasty. The PKGBUILD won't be changed after all.

dkasak commented on 2012-10-06 10:21 (UTC)

bribroder, since when? This is pretty much the opposite of what man PKGBUILD says. These packages are needed for building the software, but not afterwards. Am I missing something?

fosskers commented on 2012-10-06 09:26 (UTC)

Alright, I'll change the PKGBUILD for the next release. Should be today or tomorrow.

I agree with Alittlemurkling that the build dependencies should be listed here. The dependencies list should include all the items necessary to build the package.

fosskers commented on 2012-10-02 21:28 (UTC)

Alittlemurkling: Because they don't need to be. They are build dependencies.

dkasak commented on 2012-10-02 13:20 (UTC)

Alittlemurkling, specifically what dependencies? There are a bunch of Haskell makedepends.
