I didn't read the complete thread, hence I might miss something. What is wrong with using NoExtract of /etc/pacman.conf , if you don't want to install the complete content of a package?
Ah,I forgot about that configuration option, that is a possibility, but that is not "simple" like the Arch philosophy.
Personally the best solution I have thought of is implement this into the AUR, see what the userbase thinks, if it is ignored and not used, then obviously people do not mind.
If I get time I will do this for both bind/bind-utils and also apache/apache-utils.
The issue is I am skirting on the edge of being removed for that, as it technically is packaging existing packages, but in a slightly different format, so it is subjective to the TU reviewing the packages...
Its still worth a go don't you think? Thanks, -- Polarian GPG signature: 0770E5312238C760 Website: https://polarian.dev JID/XMPP: polarian@xxxxxxxxxxxx
