+
+## Old Dependency Installation Method
+The old deps install method mainly involved `./sdata/dependencies.conf` (which has been removed now).
+
+There was also a `checkdeps.sh`:
+  - It checks the existence of pkgs listed in `./sdata/dependencies.conf`.
+  - It somehow fixes [the problem caused by yay](https://github.com/end-4/dots-hyprland/discussions/204).
+
+## Current Dependency Installation
+Local PKGBUILDs under `./sdist/arch/` are used to install dependencies.
+
+The mechanism is introduced by [Makrennel](https://github.com/Makrennel) in [PR#570](https://github.com/end-4/dots-hyprland/pull/570).
+
+Why is this awesome?
+- It makes it possible to control version since some packages may involve breaking changes from time to time.
+- It makes the dependency trackable for package manager, so that you always know why you have installed some package.
+- As a result, it enables a workable `uninstall.sh` script.
+
+The PKGBUILDs contains two forms of dependencies:
+- Package name written in dependencies, like a "meta" package.
+- Normal PKGBUILD content to build dependencies, e.g. AGS, which is often for version controlling.
