It's for fluidsynth functionality, but I'm waiting for VLC to have libavcodec updated support

Looks like Schala changed it at some point after I stopped using it - it used to include fluidsynth as a dependency and compile flag.

As it stands, though, there's no reason to use it for precisely the reason you mentioned.

I may have missed something, but the PKGBUILD is exactly the same as the vlc 2.1.5-4, save 2 missing patches that make it impossible to compile with ffmpeg 2.4... What's the point of this package?

Yeah I filed a request to readd fluidsynth as a dependency but no one answered it so that's why this package exists.

Mkay. I guess if this package gets put in the main repositories (or they change the normal vlc to include fluidsynth) then that problem goes away anyway.

In the meantime I can keep a text file with unneeded dependencies and pipe that into pacman to remove them all after updating.

I just slap on fluidsynth as a dependency to the one from official repo. You're more than welcome to edit PKGBUILD and omit kdelibs if you want. However, I use KDE, so I left that in.

Is there any way the dependencies for this could be cut down? I'd rather not install half of KDE every time there's a point update and then remove it again afterwards.
