[arch-dev-public] Cleanup / Orphans - the list
I've started to workout our internal list for possible cleanups. https://www.archlinux.org/wiki/Repo%20Cleanup/ I've taken packages form the public wiki cleanup list and then many not that important packages from our dashboard marked with "orphaned". We still have to expand the list to have each pkg listed we want to remove. If you want to keep a pkg in our repos hurry up to adopt it. On the other side we have packages nobody wants for various reasons but we essentially need, e.g. apache and all packages from core repo. Make sure you adopt also some of these *unwanted* packages. We can still work all together maintaining/improving/updating them. We have to review the remaining packages in the cleanup list for packages beeing a dependency or beeing essential for some reason. Everything else will soon be removed completly from the extra repo. TUs and users might pick them up later again for community repo/AUR. I think one week should be enough from now on to sort things out. We will see if we need more time. Keep in mind that our goal is to _clean up_ the extra repo now! So better orphan more packages that are not very important(games, science, multimedia, packages where we have alternatives, ...) and adopt some essential packages! Andy

According to this I have adopted apache, apr, apr-util, gdbm, openssl and zlib. -- archlinux.de

Might want to give maintainers a day or two to pick up their apps that they've somehow lost ownership on before we go nuts grabbing them. James

Dan speaks the truth. Also, thanks Andy so much for this. I haven't had the time to actually go through package by package yet - I seem to have lots on my plate right now (we seem to have lots of code to write and so few coders...)

Just a note here - I don't like that this list has "all orphaned Z packages" in it. Can we please explicitly list these things? This is like doing a "rm -r" to the repos.
