[aur-general] wtf? tcp_wrappers back in [community]?
Sergej,
We spent a week rebuilding packages to get tcp_wrappers out of [core] and out of the repos. Now I see that you've moved it back into [community]. What the hell? Were you going to start recompiling packages against tcp_wrappers and adding it back as a dep? Not acceptable. We all made this decision as a team, so I'm not sure why you're trying to fight us.
I'm db-remove'ing this (again) and putting it back where it belongs.
Regards, Dave
Dave,
we should not recompile anything. But it is usefull package with 24 votes which has many dependencies in AUR. It is just a way to make things easier for guys who want to use tcp_wrappers.
I assume all developers build packages in chroots and it should not break anything even if some developer occasionaly install tcp_wrappers.

I'm sure that whoever wants to use tcp_wrappers, and therefore is willing to recompile all the services that support it on every update, won't mind building one more package.
I'd say we keep it out of the binary repos. :)

There are packages that we don't want in the binary repos, even if they have a lot of votes. awesome [1] is another good example. It has almost 400 votes but uses cairo-xcb which is broken.
We decided to remove tcp_wrappers. -1 to moving it back to [community].

Btw, cairo-xcb is _broken_. I did not search for tcp_wrappers issues globally, but I did not understand from http://www.archlinux.org/news/dropping-tcp_wrappers-support/ what is exact issue with tcp_wrappers.

As I understand tcp_wrappers still works fine despite of 14+ years old release.

No, that's exactly the issue. We decided, after bringing up the idea for the third time [1] that tcp_wrappers needs to go. There was plenty of support and _zero_ opposition to this decision, so we went ahead with it.

Remember our philosophy... If there's a package in our repositories that needs tons of patches and isn't developed upstream anymore, we should always look for alternatives. "Broken" doesn't necessarily mean that stuff stops working.

And tomorrow we'll get some Feature Request with the title "Build X with tcp_wrappers support" - Just add it to depends array.
-1. Bring it to AUR!

Sure.
I moved it to community with 24 votes. Return it back with resetting vote counter to zero. Now it has 55 votes.
Flashmob? :)
