makepkg and install with proper dependencies
So I made pkg1, pkg2 and pkg3 from AUR using makepkg. pkg2 requires pkg3 and pkg1 requires pkg2 (Dependencies: pkg1 -> pkg2 -> pkg3)
How do I install these packages with proper dependencies such that when I remove pkg1 (using pacman -Rsn pkg1) both pkg2 and pkg3 get removed as well. Thanks.

Re: makepkg and install with proper dependencies
pacman -U --asdep pkg3; pacman -U --asdep pkg2; pacman -U pkg1

Re: makepkg and install with proper dependencies
Thanks Allan. That was real quick.
I did read about the --asdeps option in pacman man page. What I'm not quite sure of is how does pacman know that, when you say 'pacman -U --asdeps pkg3', pkg3 is a dependency for "pkg2"?

Re: makepkg and install with proper dependencies
pkg2 would need to have pkg3 in its depends array in the PKGBUILD
