Sad to hear you are leaving. But everybody has a freedom of choice. Would be interesting to know which distro you are going to use after Arch :) Thanks for nice wishes. Wish you the same! Have a lot of fun!

Best, Jozsef

This is to

a) inform the TUs that I've switched distros and won't be able to maintain my packages in the AUR anymore. Feel free to orphan all 358 of them.

b) say "Thank you!" to everybody who notified me of outdated packages, sent suggestions and/or patches or helped otherwise.

c) give reasons for leaving: My mind is on things other than bleeding-edge and system-tinkering. Over time I also became dissatisfied with the official way of handling source packages. IMO Arch could be great at both source and binary, but the source part doesn't get enough love. Why not add source support for pacman? Oh, and why not compress packages with LZMA?

d) wish every Arch user all the best and lots of fun with his/her/its distro of choice!

Have fun there.

I'd be interested in maintaining some of your packages:

Why don't disown all packages at one time? and people will take care of adopt them, and let this thread die? Thanks -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Linux Counter: #359909

Any objections? Yes, now you are able to search for packages with him as Maintainer, so you can search explicitly if there are packages affected that you are using, as soon as they all are orphaned you have to check explicitely for every package. So I think it's better to wait another few days before orphaning them all. | | Christoph, sad to see you go, but as Allan would say: "they all come back". | Well I hope you have a nice time with your machine whatever system you are now using. | Regards Stefan Thorsten - -- Jabber: atsutane@freethoughts.de Blog: http://atsutane.freethoughts.de/ Key: 295AFBF4 FP: 39F8 80E5 0E49 A4D1 1341 E8F9 39E4 F17F 295A FBF4 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iFYEARELAAYFAko0GzwACgkQOeTxfyla+/QI8gDgnYOkiLh3vIrC8TDJjW+wTJhL CR8I36IQAMT7JgDgiZJ0B8gDU/E2v9VI7rxjPnH8FqhwuQvi42xOYQ== =NIW9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
