[aur-general] Orphans [extra] repository cleanup
Hi DEVs/TUs, I'm again on the cleanup of orphans packages in the [extra] repository; this time with a small list[1]. The list is based on orphans packages needed by none. I don't see very important packages there, but chromium, krusader, mc and proftpd which maybe should be kept in [extra]; though they will probably find their maintainers in [community]. As the last time (more than 7 months ago), please cross out the packages you want to keep in [extra]. Adoption is not required, but it would be nice. If you are a TU you can ask to maintain a package writing its name to the "Candidate to [community]" list[2]. I invite all you maintainers to check the orphans packages on the Arch website, many are maintained packages where the maintainer simply forgot to adopt it. Thanks [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Repo_Cleanup [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Repo_Cleanup#Candidate_to... -- Andrea

Added myself as a candidate to maintain chromium, so far, I'm loving it! (tm)

I adopted several of them and crossed them out. I wonder if it would be better to simply remove the package from the list once they have a maintainer in order to not clutter the list.
I adopted chromium and ltrace.

I have one objection. Krusader should stay in the binary repos. It's simply the best file manager I know. Heiko

Thanks. If you have a proper alternative at best for GTK I'd be glad to get to know it. I already know Tux Commander, Gnome Commander, Midnight Commander, Thunar, PCManFM, EmelFM. EmelFM2, Gentoo (the file manager) and maybe a few more. But they are not as feature-rich and user-friendly as Krusader. Heiko

Ninja! Check the wiki: # abcde - (schuay) # aria2 - I have used this occasionally in the past for torrents, so I would be willing to maintain this fine utility (td123) # numlockx - (cryptocrack) :)
