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.
