Details

Since modulizing Xorg, there are two new package groups: "x11-libs" and "x11-drivers".
If I want to install Arch Linux from ftp including the entire "x11-drivers" group, I get the error: "xf86-input-keyboard not present in "x11-drivers" repository"

This is because x11-drivers has a hyphen. The packages group is not stripped in line 660 of the Arch Linux setup script (0.7.1).

line 660 of 'setup':
list=`cat $PKGS | grep "$category/" | sed 's|^[a-z0-9]*/||g' | sed "s|.pkg.tar.gz$| ($category) $tag|g" | sort`

Later in the script pacman will be asked to install the package "x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard" instead of "xf86-input-keyboard". It will return a error since there is no repository named "x11-drivers", and no package "xf86-input-keyboard" in that repository.

To fix this, the sed expression has to be enhanced to also allow hyphens in the group name:
list=`cat $PKGS | grep "$category/" | sed 's|^[a-z0-9-]*/||g' | sed "s|.pkg.tar.gz$| ($category) $tag|g" | sort`
This task depends upon
