Hi,
there were a discussion on the arch-general list about why not adding moonlight to the repo
(
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2009-January/003326.html).
Now I want to discuss this topic further from a developer point of view.
First thought: I don't care. I have never come across anything that needs Silverlight/Moonlight.
Second thought: If I ever come across a site that needs it, I'd be happy if it would be available with pacman -S moonlight.
Third thought: I still don't care, and I won't until I come across the situation in my second thought.
So if you want to maintain it, do it. If not, then don't.
This is my sentiment too. I've never needed Silver/Moon-light for anything. I even used to use it for work at my last job, but I never needed to visit those sites in Linux. That said: the recent US Inauguration was broadcast with Silverlight, so it is seeing some use.
I will echo Thomas' point: I don't care, but if I need to care at some point, pacman -S moonlight would be great.
+1 for inclusion as long as you have the desire to maintain it.
I add ny +1 to this group.
