[arch-dev-public] Request: adding alpine to extra
Hi, I would like to add alpine to the extra repo where it will replace pine which is no longer being developped. Reference: FS#9040. Any objections? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

+2, the second for encouragement! Can we leave pine there too for a little while until people have had a chance to transition? - P

I don't see the need: pine is no longer being developped, so there will be no updates. People who already have it installed will need a transition, people who don't will immediately start with alpine. A package in the repository is no longer needed.

If it would be better, I could add alpine to testing first with the replace line in and keep pine in extra. And after 1-2 weeks , move alpine to extra and remove pine. That might ease up the transition but I agree with Thomas here. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I agree with you two as well. pine users should know what they're doing anyway, so a transition shouldn't be hard

Should alpine go straight in extra or in testing first? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I'd say let's just drop it in testing for a short stint. I'll use a guy in our office as a test case upgrade. - P

OK, it's in testing for both arches. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
