Hi,
two remarks: - gimp-devel: 2.5.x gains speed these days but I think it is better done in AUR
gimp(-devel) takes time to compile even on my fast machine. For that reason, it should remain in a repo. I'm willing to continue maintain it (unless someone else is more interested). The devel 2.5 branch was released a few days ago so the gimp-devel package will switch to that instead of following the stable branch like it did since 2.4 is out..
- fvwm-devel: the actually popular 2.5.x series of fvwm is what people are using. fvwm 2.4 is more of a legacy and I think we should maintain 2.5.x in the official repos. I have the suspicion that actually 2.5.x is the only one that is maintained upstream. Oh and 2.5 is "unstable" since I started using Arch; roughly 5 years I'd say.
fvwm 2.4 is still active. Latest release was last December. Developement is slow on both branches. I've been using fvwm-devel for years and it's rock stable. I believe most fvwm users use the devel version. Possibly we could update the fvwm package to the 2.5 branch. A similar thing was done for fluxbox a couple of years ago. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
