Hi, --- Orphans --- In connection with the newly created TODO lists for rebuilds of packages formerly maintained by people that are no longer involved with Arch Linux, I wondered if there would be any objections if I moved the following packages from [community] to AUR: (They are currently unneeded orphans, ref https://www.archlinux.org/devel/reports/unneeded-orphans/). abe aircrack-ng archlinux-artwork archlinux-lxdm-theme bchunk bpython bpython2 cdck cherrytree cmus consonance ekg ekg2 fdupes fssos-nsvs ginac gkrellm gnome-themes-extras lastfmsubmitd libcgns2 luarocks lxinput lxlauncher lxmusic lxshortcut mpdscribble obkey openclonk openocd perlbrew pkgtools pypy3 python2-basemap python2-mpi4py python2-pyproj python2-virtkey python-apsw python-basemap python-bsddb python-html5lib python-mpi4py python-pyproj python-virtkey smokeping synaptiks tremulous v8 vim-buftabs vobcopy wqy-microhei-lite xdelta xdelta3 zsync Several, but not all of these, are on the newly created TODO-lists. All of them are "unneeded orphans" (https://www.archlinux.org/devel/reports/unneeded-orphans/). If you wish to adopt one of these, just reply to this email (or adopt it). Objections to moving them should preferrably also lead to someone adopting the orphans. --- Git --- As I gather, we all like git better than svn, for a long list of reasons. Are there any objections to switching over from svn to git as repositories for the official packages? Yes, this can not be done in a heartbeat. The tools and documentation needs to be updated and the workflow needs to be tested, but are there objections to starting the transition process? -- Best regards, Alexander Rødseth xyproto / TU
