Howdy guys, I maintain (more or less) the newlisp package in the aur. it has a grand total of 5 votes. How can I cause it to become wildly popular and subsequently be included in the community repo? --

Maybe posting on the forum helps. Btw, I need more votes for my mozart and gecode packages ;) On Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 7:18 PM, wrote:

Having a lot of votes for a package is not a guarantee that it will be added in the community repo. A Trusted User must be willing to add and maintain the package in the repo. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

That's great news! :-) Somebody pick up and maintain newlisp, then. It's an easy PKGBUILD. You'll be able to make arch way cooler and piss off most of the CL/Scheme community at the same time! Just kidding, of course. -- signature clueless: "duh..." -tom
