- It wouldn't (my bad, I didn't pay attention to the package requirements), although the relevant java bug states the deprecation will "prevent users from running code that violates the JVM Specification, which can leave their applications open to malicious code." I may be wrong, but this seems to apply to java 8 as well.
- The Arch PKGBUILD page describes
optdepends
as "An array of packages that are not needed for the software to function, but provide additional features." - My mistake; I meant to quote @jochembroekhoff but read the comments wrong.
- Again, my mistake. I thought the wiki mentioned something, but after some digging, I can't find a dev preference either way.
- You're right. My initial impression was that the directory wasn't created if only one file existed within it since this seems to be the case with upstream packages like
libbluray
andlibjpeg-turbo
. I will point out that Linux convention is to keep filenames lowercase (and there's no reason to change it to uppercase), but like you said, we don't need unnecessary modifications.

There’s now an amidst-beta package available at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/amidst-beta/ if you want the latest beta version of AMIDST. This package, amidst, is only for the stable/final releases.
