[arch-dev-public] Orphans [extra] repository cleanup
Hi DEVs/TUs, I'm again on the cleanup of orphans packages in the [extra] repository; this time with a small list[1]. The list is based on orphans packages needed by none. I don't see very important packages there, but chromium, krusader, mc and proftpd which maybe should be kept in [extra]; though they will probably find their maintainers in [community]. As the last time (more than 7 months ago), please cross out the packages you want to keep in [extra]. Adoption is not required, but it would be nice. If you are a TU you can ask to maintain a package writing its name to the "Candidate to [community]" list[2]. I invite all you maintainers to check the orphans packages on the Arch website, many are maintained packages where the maintainer simply forgot to adopt it. Thanks [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Repo_Cleanup [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Repo_Cleanup#Candidate_to... -- Andrea
I adopted chromium and ltrace. [Resending to correct mailing list. (>.<)]

I'm listed as "maintainer" of this now, not because I really want to be but it would be a shame not to have a pretty standard and useful tool for code browsing in our repos. -Dan

It's no big deal; not a super-active project upstream and no bug reports so I can take it on for now. -Dan
