[arch-dev-public] Move OpenBox to [community]
Hi DEVs, Florian Pritz aka Bluewind, wants to maintain OpenBox (which is currently orphan) in [community]. I don't know if we have some policy about WMs that have to stay in [extra]. He wants to maintain the following packages in [community] too: * obconf * openbox * wvdial * wvstreams * xbindkeys * xplc Do you agree with this? -- Andrea

We have Lxde in extra (seems a bit unmaintained). That depends on openbox wm. We should either keep openbox or move all Lxde to community. Lxdm (does not depend on openbox nor lxde but is a bit related to this) hasn't seen much love upstream in the past, it's a candidate to drop also. I'd like to check lightdm as a possible repleace for lxdm in extra. -Andy

LXDE doesn't have much updates upstream, so isn't unmaintained at all (by me I mean), there are many upstream bugs for more than a year that aren't fixed yet. But yest, it's a huge candidate to [community] too, I don't know if somebody wanna maintain it on it, I could handle it as I've been doing, but I'd like to have it in [community] in case of some encouraged TU want to help me, it's welcome to me. So +1 for me to move LXDE to [community] too -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Arch Linux Developer / Trusted User Linux Counter: #359909 http://www.angvp.com

CC'ing aur-general and Juergen. No reply then I guess is ok if I move them.
Both LXDE and OpenBox moved in [community]! -- Andrea
