[arch-dev-public] request repo cleanup
Hey guys, during the KDE3 rebuild we have noticed many old/broken/orphaned/useless packages in [extra]. (some of them are listed at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE3_Rebuild) So it would be nice if someone could look into it and organize a repo cleanup. This would include (re)moving packages and maybe fixing broken PKGBUILDs.

I created a wiki page for this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Repo_CleanUp I think its a start and we can put all packages that should be removed/moved there. Also i think that we should solve the orphans problem. There are more than 900 orphans in [extra]. -- Hugo

There are also some other packages the developers maintaining them have expressed the desire to move them to unsupported. libivusal-bmp http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9026 & ivman http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5582 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9010 Greg

I would also like to point that festival doesnt seem to have a maintainer at all since Simo quit. Other packages that might IMO be candidates are bittorrent, xconq, cdtool, tuxmath, cmatrix, tcdr. Greg
