A bit more detailed summary: - There was some agreement that there appears to be a lot of packages with low usage in [community] - There was lots of disagreement about the validity various popularity measures (pkgstats, AUR votes). - No better method for assessing popularity was proposed - Restricting entry to [community] based on "popular usage" was discussed - A few do not like the idea of restricting TUs packages - The definitions of "popular" are hotly debated - A proposal for new rules for packages entering [community] will be posted to the aur-general list for more discussion - A separate proposal about removing low usage packages from [community] will be made at a later date. - It was proposed to add a safe flag on TUs packages in the AUR to encourage TUs to leave packages out of community while still being marked in a way as they are known to be good PKGBUILDs - Improving the community backend to reduce server load is being discussed.
