This thread is started by Eduardo 'kensai' who told that WICD is up for grabs, he wrote that in arch-dev-public, and since no-dev seemed interested, I replied in this list, is that a crime?.
No, but you replied to a discussion which started about a month ago, to a different mailing list, without including the text you are replying to, which is confusing.
Pal, trust me I didn't replied today, I replied ONE month ago (in other list because I don't have access in arch-dev-public, btw I asked for the access for situations like this... ), and I in fact quote it, see it with your own eyes here: http://www.nabble.com/Re:--arch-dev-public--WICD,-up-for-grabs-td20865188.ht... (as you can see too, nobody replied in arch-dev-public and neither in arch-general)
And btw, isn't a community an official repo?, because several used apps are in community.
Noone can answer that with 100% accuracy. What does official mean? Does it mean that during updates of eg. python, the packages get rebuilt along with the ones in core and extra? Then no its not. Does official mean, its enabled in /etc/pacman.conf? Then yes it is.
Well, when python2.6 was released, yes we had to rebuilt stuff, like core or extra, so at least some of "official" community have. And now that you mention this, I'd like to add that some packages on extra depends of packages in community (see http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2009-January/009692.html ) if community isn't an official repo, those dependencies should be in extra too, even by *hierarchy* (don't know if it's correctly written) these dependencies should be in extra. But this is not my point, if no-dev want to maintain wicd, I'd like to maintain it in community at least.
