[arch-dev-public] SLiM up for adoption
Hi devs, Hi TUs, I am orphaning SLiM (login manager): upstream is dead, patches keep piling up, and I actually stopped using that package a while ago. As far as I know, our current package has only one unfixed bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26579 Anyhow, I will move that package to the AUR in a week or so unless a dev or a TU wishes to adopt it. Cheers. -- Gaetan

Which login manager is the best then? I switched from kdm to slim a while ago. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org

In my opinion: none. I use startx. If you need one and want something lightweight, there's always xdm; on IRC, Allan mentioned being happy with lxdm too. Whichever works for you. -- Gaetan

Yes... I use LDXM with this theme (to make it simpler!): http://allanmcrae.com/2011/08/simple-arch-linux-theme-for-lxdm/

Funny name for a package that depends on libwebkit. :)

Even with slim gone, we would still have xorg-xdm and lxdm. But I admit I thought more dev/TU would want to adopt slim... -- Gaetan

There is also qingy (with qingy-theme-arch) which I use and maintain.

I use slim, so I can adopt it if noone else wants it. It does it's job pretty well, the only annoying issue is that some themes need to be adapted for 2-monitor configuration. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

Perfect. You can adopt it on archweb now or in a few days if you want to make sure that nobody else is willing to maintain it.

Feel free to add a patch for that. :) -- Gaetan
