If an AUR package wants to install 137 python dependencies, I usually search for a flatpak instead.
Why is this the case? Have I been installing stuff wrong my entire life?
Beside what @fatihozs@mastodon.social wrote:
-binpackage.@pineapplelover @infeeeee No, some people just don't want to install tons of packages just for an application they want to use to. The more package means the higher chance for system breakage. It's better checking dependencies and pkgbuild before install
Yeah but I thought if I installed it through AUR natively then it would be better since if other programs need those same dependencies, I wouldn't have to install them again.
Personally i like chaotic-aur because it's already pre compiled
The only aur packages on my is system is stacer-bin (the only cleaner i trust other than bleachbit)
Stacer for the win!
You can remove dependencies after install, at least in yay, I never do tho.
That's install dependencies (in PKGBUILD they are called
makedepends), python programs usually need them for runtime (dependsin PKGBUILD). On the main page of a package they are listed together, but on the PKGBUILD they are separateπ I know (well that about two types of dependencies)
That python dependency seem more a upstream issue, not a AUR issue, isnβt it? I mean, if I install the same app from another source, it still needs those dependencies, isnβt it?
