Details

Description:
The package "extra/gimp-nufraw" actually also provides the command line utility "nufraw".

So at least "provides=("nufraw=${pkgver}")" and "conflicts=('nufraw')" should be added.

And maybe even better to rename it to "nufraw" and add "gimp-nufraw" as provided and conflicted package, or split it into two separate packages.

Regards!


Additional info:
* package version(s) 0.43.3-9

Apart from making unnecessary work for the PM, I'm failing to see why this is needed. Please explain the rationale behind "should..."

The only thing I found depending on something similar it was on the AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ufraw-thumbnailer), but that just depends on gimp-nufraw which is either provided by https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nufraw or extra/gimp-nufraw.

Its up to eworm to decide, but IMO there is no benefit in adding this provides=(...) statement.
