[arch-dev-public] WICD, up for grabs
Well, I have updated wicd quite a few times already, since I was using it to test something in my network. I had my few share of bugs opened for wicd, but now, they are all closed, hopefully, closed and dead. But, well, I have no more need for wicd, so, I am officially retiring from maintaining it. Feel free to grab it, or do with the packages what you want. To this point nobody has showed interest in taking it. So, let's hope someone takes it and give it the care it should have. I honestly have no means to test it to full capacity, so for half the bugs I had to rely on what others told me. I send this email, because I won't like it to be there sitting outdated and uncared for too much. PS: I just upgraded it for the last time, to version 1.5.6, because it seems to fix some problems. Thanks, Eduardo "kensai" Romero

I don't have too much free time at the moment, but then again I use wicd in three laptops already. So I'll take it unless someone with more enthusiasm comes along :) --vk

As you don't have too much free time, I suggest to move wicd in the community repo. Angel Velasquez is able to maintain it and he's doing a good job as TU. My 2 cents. -- Arch Linux Developer (voidnull) AUR & Pacman Italian Translations Microdia Developer http://www.archlinux.it

I talked with Angel on IRC and we decided to work on wicd together and keep it in extra for now. Angel, do you concur? And there's a brand new wicd-1.5.8-1 for both arches in testing. --vk P.S. your name is enviably cool
