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.

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?

mlt-svn is not part of xfce-svn -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

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.

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

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.
