Hi DEVs/TUs, I'm again on the cleanup of orphans packages in the [extra] repository; this time with a small list[1].
The list is based on orphans packages needed by none.
I don't see very important packages there, but chromium, krusader, mc and proftpd which maybe should be kept in [extra]; though they will probably find their maintainers in [community].
As the last time (more than 7 months ago), please cross out the packages you want to keep in [extra]. Adoption is not required, but it would be nice.
If you are a TU you can ask to maintain a package writing its name to the "Candidate to [community]" list[2].
I invite all you maintainers to check the orphans packages on the Arch website, many are maintained packages where the maintainer simply forgot to adopt it.
Thanks
