When delmakedeps = true base-devel package not removing #910

Closed utrumo closed 5 days ago

utrumo commented 1 month ago

I set delmakedeps = true in ~/.config/aura/config.toml

After building and installing the package from aur, aura asks me to remove all make dependencies, but skips base-devel

fosskers commented 1 month ago

This is by design. base-devel is automatically added if missing, and according to AUR policy is always assumed to be installed when building AUR packages.

It's a pity, I expected from this flag that it would completely clean up all dev dependencies. But at the same time, aura -Oj removes this package.

What would the advantage be to removing it and readding it each time you do an install?

Any thoughts on this?
