@Jelle van der Waa: I can compile avrdude myself, but my request is add libftdi dependence in the ArchLinux's mainstream package. Reasons: 1) avrdude is too special tool, so it's no need to minimize its dependencies (especially libftdi, as too general in world of electronic guys who add USB in their devices via FTDI chips); 2) FTDI chips are very popular for programming AVR; 3) Not all people can/want recompile avrdude itself and, therefore, use old patched versions of avrdude (e.g. from AUR), but now "avrftdi" programmer is in mainstream of avrdude; 4) [for me and others who compile avrdude itself] it's good if FTDI-supported avrdude will be updated with pacman -Syu.

Sure but since i don't use avrdude myself, I wondered if it worked, if it works then i'll bring it into the repos
