Hi,
As promised, here is a first list of removal candidates. Please go through it to make sure we don't remove a package that, for some
should remain in extra. Some of the reason are actually questions (cvsup, gnome-system-tools, ksymoops, makedev, nail, rxvt_ja, rxvt) so it would be nice if someone can answer them. As said before, some of
reason, these
packages are depends of community packages. Please just dicuss them for now. I would prefer to do the actual removal myself. I will do so in a few days after the discussion.
gnome-system-tools (in unstable) replace with new package from AUR and move to Extra? +1 for updating this. I can take it if noone else wants.
Either remove from unstable and maintain in community, or update in extra and use the AUR version. As the current AUR maintainer is one of the community guys, this would be best in community, unless someone else takes over maintainership and communicates with the original author (it's perl, it's tricky and I won't help :P)
The maintainer of gnome-system-tools, liboobs and gnome-system-tools-backends is not a TU, but I will closely work with him (if noone else adopts it) as I'm not a perl guru. :-P

libesmtp unused lib required by esmtp and balsa - I'll take them all in community
libgdamm unused lib move to community, I'll adopt it (required by glom)
libpixman unused lib just curious - is pixman from Testing the same but updated?
other packages that are required by community packages: glitz - by gnustep-back and xgl metakit - by gourmet shapelib - by gpsmanshp and gen2shp
Are these the only packages in the candidate list that are makedepends/depends of community packages?
I think yes, I've checked almost all libraries from this candidate list. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
