I'll lodge a request to keep them in [core]. These are pretty standard and base things on a secure system these days, and I feel like they deserve the scrutiny and attention core packages get from us.
Things are easier if we keep [core] as small as possible.
Are you equating "easier" and "don't need to sign off"? If so, it sounds like we have a different problem to address here.
I see, I haven't thought about all aspects. I just checked if it is needed to get a system up and running or if it is needed by another core package. Rechnically there is no defference if it was in core or extra. It is not required by any package in core/base and its not installed by default anyway. But if we agree to extend the definition of the core repo to some kind of advanced quality/security concerns I am fine with keeping it in core. PS: There is a ca-certificates package in testing for a while. Afaik brain0 started a base group cleanup; not sure if he finished it and this package was forgotten. -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre@jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de
