Hi all!
I just took a look at the orphaned packages in community. I must say, they are quite a few (68, I added the full list at the end of this mail).
If any of these belong to you and you did forget to adopt it after uploading, please do so now. If you did upload one of these and lost interest in it, please move it either to unsupported or post it in this thread so someone else can adopt it.
In about a week time I will post the remaining list of orphaned packages at that time, so anyone interested (or needed as a dep) can adopt one of those. The rest I will move to unsupported a week or so after that. If you think the time schedule I mentioned is too short, please let me know so I can change it.
Best regards,
Ronald
A few comments: -Before moving a package to unsupported, make sure it is not a depends or makedepends of another community packages. Several packages in your list fall in this category. -Keep gpsdrive in community. It's Damir's (a dev) package. He hasn't adopted it yet. -About the e17 stuff, a forum user (reverie, I think) used to have a popular e17-cvs personal repo. I don't know if he's still maintaining it but, if he's interested in becoming a TU and you want to sponsor and vote him in, he could move his e17-cvs package in community to replace the orphaned e17 snapshots.
