[arch-dev-public] package move request
There are several orphan packages I'd like to maintain, currently in [extra]. python-imaging gqview htop multitail catdoc fortune-mod Of these python-imaging is probably the most serious. Lots of packages depend on it, but these all are in community. Two packages in extra optdep it: hplip and asymtote. You can see the list of required-by and opt-required-by with expac -S '%n %E %o ' | egrep ' (pil|python-imaging) ' | \ cut -d ' ' -f 1 | xargs expac -S '%n %r' Htop might also be a little presumptuous to ask for, but no harm trying. And of course if any dev wants to take these, you may certainly do so in my place. -Kyle http://kmkeen.com

gqview
How about we drop it? It has been unmaintained upstream for the past five years, which is why a fork (geeqie) was created two years ago. Geeqie is alive and well in our repos, and there is little point in packaging deprecated software like gqview. No objection from me for the others. -- Gaetan

Fine for me. +1 to drop gqview and move the others to [community]. -- Andrea

So I just moved python-imaging, multitail, catdoc, and fortune-mod to [community], dropped gqview to the AUR, and left htop in [extra] since Dave adopted it. Cheers. -- Gaetan
