How is it an optdep? A program shipped in the package completely
fails if curl is not present. My understanding of packages with
optional dependencies is that they are completely functional with
or without them, which pacman is currently not. It seems to me
that either curl should become an explicit dependency of the
pacman package, or rankmirrors itself should be given its own
package, of which curl is a dependency.

You don't understand optdeps then. I'll add it as one in the next
package.

Maybe this should be closed since it is implimented now?
