Dear all,
I've joined the Arch team in 2010 and spent a decade as a developer;
it's been a great privilege to be a part of such an awesome community

We all seem to agree that [base] plays no satisfactory role in its
current state, so I think Allan definitely has a point: let us first
turn [base] into something useful, and only then wonder if we need
something more.

Dear all,
For a while now packages in [testing] have gotten little to no signoffs
and I've been moving mine to [core] after a week without feedback. I
suspect many of you have been doing this too. Here's the signoff reports
over the last ten days:
- June 19: 0 signoffs
- June 20: 6 from me, 4
Hi,
I'll post the following announcement when screen-4.4.0-1 moves to
[core]. Feedback is welcome as always. Cheers.
Title: screen-4.4.0-1 unable to attach old sessions

Hi guys,
I was diving and got bit by a moray eel. Nothing too serious but my
right-hand will have to be at rest for the next few weeks. Typing is
slow with my left... And then I'll go on a small road trip for the

not the details. Maybe I'm completely wrong.
For reference, it was discussed there:
Hi,
As more of our official packages use git sources, I'd like to suggest we
