[arch-general] AL gnustep-core implementation misses gnustep-back
In the recent repo clean up operation gnustep-back was dropped to AUR. I have maintained the oolite package when it was still in AUR and remember plenty of problems with running oolite against faulty / incomplete gnustep-core implementations . The gnustep upstream website [1] lists gnustep-back as a required package for every gnustep install . The ANNOUNCE file in gnustep-back source code [2] states gnustep-gui & gnustep-back are 2 components of the display system used by gnustep . I feel that removing gnustep-back from gnustep-core group goes against arch linux policy of staying as close to upstream as possible.

Yes, looks like it shouldn't have been removed. However all GNUstep packages are unmaintained, so I'd rather drop it all with oolite to AUR than keep in half-zombie state in repositories. Sven, any opinion on this? Bartłomiej
