Pal, trust me I didn't replied today, I replied ONE month ago (in
other list because I don't have access in arch-dev-public, btw I asked
for the access for situations like this... ), and I in fact quote it,
see it with your own eyes here:

(as you can see too, nobody replied in arch-dev-public and neither in
arch-general)

Well, when python2.6 was released, yes we had to rebuilt stuff, like
core or extra, so at least some of "official" community have.

And now that you mention this, I'd like to add that some packages on
extra depends of packages in community (see
http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2009-January/009692.html
) if community isn't an official repo, those dependencies should be in
extra too, even by *hierarchy* (don't know if it's correctly written)
these dependencies should be in extra.

But this is not my point, if no-dev want to maintain wicd, I'd like to
maintain it in community at least.

Cheers
