Anyway, this is just an observation, Arch seems to do quite well in
general (thanks Maintainers:). I'll look around the repos again and
might come up for some more repackaging ideas for the next bug
squashing day or something...

I have another suggestion.

Currently smbclient is installed as a dependecy for gnome-vfs,
kdebase-runtime, mplayer and vlc likely among others.

I'm running a Linux only system, so I don't need samba. Wouldn't it be
possible to move smbclient from depends to optdepends in the affected
packages?

Heiko

can't be an optdepends.

pacman -Rd smbclient

mplayer
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libsmbclient.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

smbclient is kinda important for those packages. removing such dependency will make a lot of users unhappy.
