Examples could be things like specific configuration defaults or general decision-making in leadership.

What would you change?

    What I want to do is install all of these Optional Dependencies that are part of the wine-staging package without specifying every one of them:

    Optional Deps   : giflib
                  lib32-giflib
                  gnutls
                  lib32-gnutls
                  v4l-utils
                  lib32-v4l-utils
                  libpulse
                  lib32-libpulse
                  alsa-plugins
                  lib32-alsa-plugins
                  alsa-lib
                  lib32-alsa-lib
                  libxcomposite
                  lib32-libxcomposite
                  libxinerama
                  lib32-libxinerama
                  opencl-icd-loader
                  lib32-opencl-icd-loader
                  libva
                  lib32-libva
                  gtk3
                  lib32-gtk3
                  gst-plugins-base-libs
                  lib32-gst-plugins-base-libs
                  vulkan-icd-loader
                  lib32-vulkan-icd-loader
                  sdl2
                  lib32-sdl2
                  sane
                  libgphoto2
                  ffmpeg
                  cups
                  samba
                  dosbox

    --asdeps doesn’t seem to do that. apt has --install-recommended, I think, or something similar. And for all the bad things I could say about apt, that’s a nice feature.

      I think the reason that doesn’t exist is that it doesn’t make sense to install all of them usually. In this case, unless you have a scanner, you won’t want sane, if you don’t have a printer, you won’t want cups, I guess samba might be for AD or SMB network shares which many also don’t use, v4l is for webcams, it’s probably very rare to use opencl inside of wine, and I don’t even know what wine uses dosbox for. And so on. These are optional dependencies for a reason.

      –asdeps installs a package as “not explicitly installed”, so it’ll be removed again when uninstalling unneeded packages. So yeah, that’s something else.
