Details

Description:
The program relies on a run launcher, like dmenu, rofi to output the X clipboard. However dmenu has been listed as a dependency which is not optimal since many people are likely to compile dmenu from source for it being a suckless program and also many might want to use rofi and other launchers. So it doesn't make sense to have to two binaries of dmenu installed at the same time or to have dmenu installed while it is not being used. Therefore dmenu should be made an optional dependency like rofi is.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  "people are likely to compile dmenu from source" is not a valid reason to change this pkg. dmenu is the upstream default.
