Can't pass --asdeps to pacman for AUR packages

[kgizdov]

Hi,

As the title says. I am confused as to why I can't just run:

$ sudo aura -Axa --asdeps icu59
Invalid option `--asdeps'

Did you mean this?
    --deps

Usage: aura ((-A|--aursync) PACKAGES | (-B|--save) | (-C|--downgrade) PACKAGES |
            (-L|--viewlog) | (-O|--orphans) | (-V|--version) | --languages |
            --viewconf | ((-D|--database) PACKAGES | (-F|--files) | (-Q|--query)
            [PACKAGES] | (-R|--remove) PACKAGES | (-S|--sync) [PACKAGES] |
            (-T|--deptest) PACKAGES | (-U|--upgrade) PACKAGES))

I want to locally build an AUR package with mixed deps (some from core, some from AUR), and I want the deps to not be explicitly installed. The only way is to mark them after the fact...

I am using the master aura built with stack.

[fosskers]

Hm? The deps should be getting marked as not explicitly installed already, for both Pacman and AUR deps. If they're not, that's a bug.

[kgizdov]

No, I mean the following - I have a package that needs core and AUR dependencies. But I want to build it locally with makepkg for debugging. So I need to install the AUR deps on their own, because makepkg doesn't understand AUR when run as makepkg -s. Thus, I want to specify to install the AUR packages as dependencies.

[fosskers]

Ah, gotcha. Yes, that's reasonable. It would be annoying to have to manually do aura -D --as-deps foo bar baz... for the entire list of deps.

[kgizdov]

@fosskers would this be equivalently fixed as in this commit. If so, should I replicate and make a pull request? I don't have any haskell experience and will probably mess it up, but I can give it a go.

[fosskers]

Yes, I believe so, thanks for pointing that out. Let me just fix this for you right now.

Notice the difference?

^ that PR seems to fix it.
