makedepends installed as 'Explicitly Installed'

I've noticed that when you build and install your own package (or one from AUR), some other packages may be installed as needed. However, if you run a pacman -Rns [name of package] it will not remove those dependencies that were installed.

Is this a bug, known issue, or 'feature'? Or is there some work around -- other than manually keeping a log of what installed.

BTW: Same problem when installing packages from AUR with yaourt.

Thanks,
Shane

I'm too lazy to look it up myself.. see /var/lib/pacman/local/yaourt*/install, there you'll find the bug url.

I'm pretty sure this is known. At least _I_ know about it. I think it may be fixed in 3.1, Dan?

Yeah, there is a pacman -U --asdeps in 3.1.

(yaourt will obviously have to be changed to accommodate this.)

For those of you who don't speak in code, like Dan apparently does (/me glares) - it is in git right now and will be fixed in the 3.1 release.

Sweet guys, that's exactly what I was hoping for! Thanks for the replies.
