I've not used Arch or looked too deeply into it … how much does this minimization impact features? Is it a stated policy to forgo features in order to minimize dependencies? Or is it left more to the discretion of individual packagers? Is there any way to control features (and thus dependencies) as an end-user; (if you're familiar with them,) anything similar to Gentoo's USE flags? -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo $...@${b}
