@Alad That logic applies to makedepends=(), not for depends=(). Anything is base-deve! is presumed and does not need to be listed as a build time dependency. In this case sudo is a optional run time dependency, hence it can (and I believe should) be listed as such. It is not part of base.

sudo is part of base-devel, so no, it should not be listed as a dependency - not a regular one, nor an optional one.

@alergue,I agree, sudo should be listed as an optdepends.
alerque commented on 2021-07-27 08:10 (UTC)
@mimshipio No, there are several things you can do with this without sudo, and there are alternative ways of gaining escalated privileges. It should probably be listed as an optdepends though.
mimshipio commented on 2021-07-27 01:06 (UTC)
Shouldn't sudo be a dependency? I mean paru needs sudo for privilege elevation to install packages

Thanks @alerque.
alerque commented on 2021-07-19 13:13 (UTC)
@adrianteri It sounds like you cloned the wrong repo. You don't clone the GitHub source repo, you clone this packaging repo (link above in package details). The PKGBUILD is very much there ;-)
adrianteri commented on 2021-07-19 12:50 (UTC)
QN on first installation(Using instructions in README). The PKGBUILD is missing from the cloned GiHub repo is this by design or was removed by mistake?

The CI makes a draft release. I hate automated releases and it lets me write the changelog in before publishing.
