DetailsI have some scripts with bash as a dependency, so when I build a package containing them and run namcap on the package, I get a warning saying bash is a missing dependency unless I have it in my PKGBUILD. However, bash is in the core base group so it should not be listed as a dependency per the Arch wiki guidelines.
Not sure if this is the case with other base dependencies, but, if it is, they ought to not be complained about either. |

packages from base should be listed as dependency. Only pacakges from base-devel don't need to be listed as makedepends.

Is that a new policy change? Everyone I know has said not to list base.

Namcap should function independently of whatever 'guideline' we have. It checks and reports on dependencies, and that's what it should do, base group or not. Can we bring this to a closure, please?
