Hello,
So I was editing the ArchWiki today and I found the following:
<snip>
- Is this a terrible idea? - Who would develop and maintain the source code? - Who would be responsible to hosting it, its unofficial thus someone has to? - Would you feel comfortable using a tool which is not officially supported?
For arch staff (which I hope will critisise the idea massively):
- Would this breach any rules?
No, why would it? You are free to index whatever you want.
- Would you be happy with official packages being indexed alongside their unofficial counterparts?
Obviously if you do this you should make it obvious what is official and not.
- Would this cause conflict within the community, or with staff members?
I don't see why. Although as an Arch packager I am of the opinion that obviously everything which is useful should be in the official repos :-) Greetings, Jelle
