Hi devs,
I have created a table of candidates for removal from the extra repo
based on <1% usage in the pkgstats results. I have gone through and
flagged for keeping packages which are i18n, makedepends, or
otherwise needed (in pacman testsuite, using on gerolde). See the
list here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Allan/Extra_Repo_and_Pkgstats
There is probably other categories of packages we should keep (e.g
drivers) and there are some fonts which might be considered i18n
related so can you all go through the list a cross out the ones to be
kept and giving the reason.
In a couple of weeks time I will remove all the orphaned packages
remaining on that list and contact the maintainers of the rest so
they can decide what to do with their packages.
Cheers,
Allan
After glancing over the list, I noticed that 2 of my packages were
there. IMO, this list should be restricted to orphans only. Unless
you intend to check if the package if orphaned before removing it.
Read the sentence above yours... :P
