Install Arch package without optional dependencies
When installing an Arch package via
system.yaml, does the package install all optional dependencies? If yes, how can I avoid that?4 Replies
it does whatever pacman does, and you can't change it
you can fork it and modify it if you'd like
but it just does
pacman -Sy package-nameThanks. as far as I know, pacman leaves out all optional dependencies, which is exactly what I need.
.triller_ received a thank you Jao!
optional dependencies are not automatically installed
if something is installed, it's a required dependency
you can verify this by checking the package page on https://archlinux.org/packages/
