I'm beginning to think that pacman was probably already a too complex project to start with, I always have to ask about how things should be done, and I'm very rarely able to come up with a patch I'm happy with. So I'm progressively losing the little motivation I had in the beginning. I also find it sad that pacman gets so little attention / is so short of manpower. Please don't loose your motivation ;-) Yes, there are problems around pacman development; but as I said, sometimes Dan (or Aaron) is the bottleneck. As I see, you pay enough attention to pacman, this was a big motivation to me. If you decide to leave the project, probably I will do so. So I suggest the main devels to start to rethink the development philosophy (see also: pacman-g2 fork) <- I believe that you have few freetime, then find trusted/talented/enthusiastic new guys or start a real devel-branch (as I see, pacman-git is stable, only "trivial" things are committed) or dunno. Conclusion: I'm sure that pacman would get much more attention, but somehow the enthusiastic guys are bundled out. And then you can say that pacman is a dying project <- that is easy: the more attention the less freetime. Bye, ngaba
