[arch-dev-public] Rsync to [core]
With ABS changing from cvsup to rsync, we either need to move rsync to core, or abs to extra. I vote rsync to core. Anyone opposed? If all are OK with it, I'll move it to core tomorrow.

Fine with it, as long as you move csup out too (extra for now, maybe community/unsupported down the road?). -Dan

My opinion would be move abs to extra, along with rsync. It is only that though, an opinion. I guess I don't have strong feelings about it.

Core is "stuff you need to get your base system up and running", right? So I'd vote for abs to extra as well. T.

I agree, it doesn't really fit in that "must have" category. But like eliott, I'm surprisingly indifferent. -S

Agreed. ABS is not system critical. Hell, even devtools and namcap are in extra.

Hm - fair enough. :P I guess I'll still be moving package around, but not in the order I originally expected. :P

Pretty indifferent here as well, I guess I just remembered some talk way back of core being system critical stuff, but *also* being a completely self-contained way to build an Arch system from scratch. I thought that was a big reason why we would want to keep it there. Luckily with SVN we can move this package back and forth without hassle, except for Travis going crazy. :) -Dan

Yeah, this morning I thought I had something with an argument that we've recently been saying we don't want to patch the kernel for every Jim, Bob, and Jane that have an exotic module. I thought to myself "Hey, if they need that exotic module to get the system up and running, they'll probably want ABS to build the kernel!" Then it occurred to me that, if their system isn't up and running, how are they supposed to use ABS in the first place? It's a chicken-and-the-egg scenario - for ABS to be useful, you need an internet connection. However, if you have an internet connection, you can just run pacman -S abs and get it from extra. So meh.
