If a package is important to the distro, there will be a dev who wants to maintain it. If the devs don't have time and there is a popular demand for a package, the package should be maintained in community by a _TU_. If a package is not important nor popular, and there is a dev or a TU that happens to use it, IMHO the package should be in a binary repo BUT the repo should be extra if the maintainer is a dev or community if the maintainer is a TU. Otherwise the package should be dropped to unsupported. That's how I see it. -- Jaroslaw Swierczynski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.archlinux.org | www.juvepoland.com _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
