I guess we do have similar goals (e.g. every Arch Linux based distro will benefit from the extension of pacman). > > ArchServer can bring the application to the plate, which will need to get adapted to the new structure obviously > (http://wiki.archserver.org/index.php/GSoC2011_Application). I envision some umbrella project for Arch Linux, ArchServer and probably even other Arch Linux based distros. Of course we do have a very tough timeframe to get this up. > > What do you think? > > R, > > Markus Nice, >From the Dev side of Arch, count with me, though I am not Pacman Developer, but I do know pacman and I could spend some of my time on this project. I did a page several weeks ago [1], feel free to complement it with the info according to Arch and we have to send the application to GSoC soon.. Drop me a mail anything you need.
