[arch-general] Removing padevchooser and paman
I would like to remove these two packages from community and move them to unsupported (AUR). Both are marked as obsolete by upstream[1] and weren't updated since 2007. padevchooser is a notification area app that allows choosing default sinks and sources, as well as starting some other PulseAudio applications. It has been obsoleted by pavucontrol, which also allows much finer control over sink and source usage. paman is a diagnostic tool that provides information similar to "pacmd list", as well as allowing control of stream volumes (provided by pavucontrol) and playing samples from the cache (pacmd play-sample). Your thoughts? 1: http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup

"Just" a user here, but I've followed PA quite closely and yes, I wholeheartedly agree that there's no point keeping both those packages. In fact I think I'll just go uninstall them now (keep forgetting to do that while cleaning up periodically)...

1: http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup They certainly look like candidates for removal. Good job jumping on the PA packages, I'm glad to be rid of them ;) --

Nope, hence why i'm glad to get rid of them. I was maintaining them because i consider PA an important package that shouldn't be orphaned and no one else wanted the hassle of dealing with it. --

Ah that explains it. I was under the impression PA was going to (eventually) be JGC's, in line with all the other Gnome stuff.
Anyone else? If I don't get any objections, I'll move them to AUR and disown. On Sat, May 8, 2010 at 2:23 AM, Jan Steffens <jan.steffens@gmail.com> wrote:
