[arch-dev-public] Away for a while
Hi, as of Monday evening I will be away from the computer for most of my time as I go visiting home for two weeks. So I shall be back for the developer meeting. Just update my packages a needed I will also get rid of a couple of my packages that I don't use at all and maintain not really very well. They will be about 30-40 By the same time, if everyone agrees, I can pickup officially the xfce stuff since Aurelien seems to be very inactive. -T

When you do this, as you probably know them better than anyone else, can you elect some of them for movement to community/unsupported? I'll bet there's a few in there that are rarely used.

Aren't they mostly official packages? I'm sure it's easier to maintain if they are kept together as we do for gnome's official packages. I for one don't like the idea of moving stuff to community/unsupported just for the sake of doing it. If they're really a burden or not maintained by a dev, that's fine, but it doesn't make sense to do just to keep the number of packages in current/extra down. Dale

But he's talking about orphaning them, we already have something like 440 orphans listed. If no one is actively maintaining them we might as well sift through them and move some to places where they *will* be maintained by interested parties.

My fault, I somehow got the orphaning and xfce mixed in together... He's going to orphan *other* packages. Got ya. Dale
