[arch-dev-public] archlinux-tools group
Hi All, I've introduced a new group "archlinux-tools" for arch-rebuild-order and orhun will add it to arch-repro-status. I'm planning to add arch-signoff, and ask Fox to add archlinux-contrib as well. The idea is that Arch Linux related tools which benefit packaging get added to the archlinux-tools group. P.S. check out arch-repro-status, it's an awesome tool to inspect your non-reproducible packages! Greetings, Jelle van der Waa

I'm confused though, wasn't the goal of -contrib to be exactly this? Feels that we could get away with making it all -contrib... Cheers! -Santiago

It is, but Rust/Go/Complicated Python projects lend them themself poorly to a project intended for scripts.

Then someone would need to figure out how to stuff it into the contrib :) -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16

Well, the archlinux-contrib package contains a bunch of utilities which aren't "big" enough to be a standalone project (or not yet). So that's why they aren't packaged in -contrib. Greetings, Jelle van der Waa
