[arch-dev-public] Dropping xarchiver from [extra]
Reason is that it's buggy and has been unmaintained for close to 3 years. There's currently one open bug about it [1], which I'm not willing to troubleshoot. The suggested alternative application is GNOME's archive tool, File Roller. Unless anyone objects, I'm going to move it to the AUR in a few days. [1] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29650

I'm fine with that. I seem to have been maintaining my own patched version for better xz support anyway... I just installed file-roller and it looks a good alternative. Allan

I just removed xarchiver from [extra] and uploaded it to the AUR. Cheers.
