Description:

The airmon-ng script is the first step in the basic aircrack-ng workflow, and should thus be in the aircrack-ng package, rather than the aircrack-ng-scripts. Also, unlike the other programs in aircrack-ng-scripts, it's not very heavy.

Additional info:
* aircrack-ng 1.1-6
* aircrack-ng-scripts 1.1-6

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -Ql aircrack-ng
pacman -Ql aircrack-ng-scripts
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  aircrack-ng 1.1-7 now contains airmon-ng, and aircrack-ng-scripts 1.1-7 does not.

A question I have is: Why is it split in the first place? The PKGBUILD shows that aircrack-ng{,-scripts} come from the same makefile.
Seems to be introducing more confusion then benefit.

aircrack-ng-scripts includes two programs that have external dependencies (python, graphviz, etc). It makes a bit of sense to separate them as they're not critical programs.

However, airmon-ng doesn't depend on anything heavy, so I think it makes sense to include it in the core aircrack-ng package.

Attached is a patch to the PKGBUILD.
