[aur-general] xfce4-*-svn and others xfce packages
Hi ML, there are many orphans packages into community repository and I think who xfce-svn would have to be moved to unsupported. I want to know if someone is interested at these packages before I'll move they to unsupported. Packages list: exo-svn gtk-xfce-engine-svn libxfce4mcs-svn libxfce4menu-svn libxfce4util-svn libxfcegui4-svn mlt-svn mousepad-svn orage-svn pyxfce-svn ristretto-svn squeeze-svn terminal-svn thunar-archive-plugin-svn thunar-media-tags-plugin-svn thunar-svn thunar-volman-svn xarchiver-svn xfburn-svn xfce-devtools-svn xfce-mcs-manager-svn xfce-mcs-plugins-svn xfce-notification-daemon-svn xfce-utils-svn xfce4-appfinder-svn xfce4-battery-plugin-svn xfce4-clipman-plugin-svn xfce4-icon-theme-svn xfce4-mailwatch-plugin-svn xfce4-mixer-svn xfce4-mount-plugin-svn xfce4-mpc-plugin-svn xfce4-netload-plugin-svn xfce4-notes-plugin-svn xfce4-panel-svn xfce4-rss-plugin-svn xfce4-screenshooter-plugin-svn xfce4-sensors-plugin-svn xfce4-session-svn xfce4-systemload-plugin-svn xfce4-taskmanager-svn xfce4-trigger-launcher-svn xfce4-verve-plugin-svn xfce4-weather-plugin-svn xfce4-websearch-plugin-svn xfce4-xfapplet-plugin-svn xfce4-xkb-plugin-svn xfdesktop-svn xfmedia-svn xfprint-svn xfwm4-svn xfwm4-themes-svn Regards, Andrea -- Andrea `BaSh` Scarpino Arch Linux Trusted User Linux User: #430842

Weren't we trying to convince someone to join as a TU to maintain the xfce4-svn packages? Does anybody know if there was a response about that?

I don't know if this is a good ideas but maybe someone could make a post on the forum. There a lot of xfce users and someone may be interrested to adopt and support it. -- Shaika-Dzari http://www.guidelinux.org http://code.google.com/p/animeshell

Quote, I don't think this is a good idea For xfce4 users, in community there are xfce4-* (no svn) packages A my italian friend wants to maintain them (if the packages are in AUR) Andrea -- Andrea `BaSh` Scarpino Arch Linux Trusted User Linux User: #430842

I'm the xfce4 extra maintainer and from my experience the xfce4 stuff goes in waves. Whe the development at upstream gets upt o speed again for 4.6 ther will be people that who want the 4.6 svn packages until there are beta tarballs available. I know have them lingering around is an annoyance but believe me, someone will come along and pick them up. It is okay to mve it to unsupported for the moment but please don't get rid of them as it will be way much work for whoever to recreate them. Thanks, -T

My two cents? -svn, -git or -cvs packages are allowed to stay in community _only_ if it is the main way to get them ( like fusion-icon ). And the best thing to do is download the snapshot, targz it and upload on some private space, and use it for source ( like thing I do with xgl ), not to use directly svn or git or cvs in the build function. Fortunately, we're not forced to follow users; it is suggested, right, but users have a quick way to get xfce-svn: using makepkg themselves! And users could set-up their personal repo, to share the packages, like ( fortunately they do ) repo with kdemod, kde4, ... , compiz-git, ..., kde-svn and many others. Finally, instead of following users in the fog of -svn packages, we MUST focus our forces to keep in sync community-64. Anyway, thanks to wizzo which has maintained it very well; if anyone want take all xfce-svn packages, they will go in unsupported. -- JJDaNiMoTh - ArchLinux Trusted User

Any reply, so I'm proud ( really ) to move these svn things to unsupported. If you wish maintain them in community, let send me an email IMMEDIATELY. Thanks. -- JJDaNiMoTh - ArchLinux Trusted User

Done now. All PKGBUILDs are in unsupported, and are orphan. Please, adopt it if you wish maintain. I have uploaded all targz to http://jjdanimoth.altervista.org/arch ( xfce4-svn dir ) to help future Contributor. For TU, I have only detagged them, so if you want to put back in community ( and maintain it ) you will need to do only makepkg and communitypkg. Also, I close all bug report for xfce-svn packages.
