PM: PKGRECOM: What will this package enhance?

Artoria2e5 commented 8 years ago

This definition is present in pacman, in a form of:

optdepends=('cups: printing support'
            'sane: scanners support'
            'libgphoto2: digital cameras support'
            'alsa-lib: sound support'
            'giflib: GIF images support'
            'libjpeg: JPEG images support'
            'libpng: PNG images support')

Sadly, with our current IFS-based processing, the only possible way is:

PKGRECOM='cups sane libgphoto alsa-lib giflib libjpeg libpng'
PKGRECOM_INFO=('printing support' 'scanners support'  )# ...

That is quite unsatisfactory.

autobulid/info file to provide a file with multiple columns?

recommend    libjpeg-turbo    provides support to read JPEG files
recommend    nodejs           JavaScript style bindings

Where...

Column one sets the variable
Column two provides the packages
Column three provides more information on the addition

a blind thought...

Fine... You said use arrays, but can you explain that idea here?
