Maybe there should be added that Arch Linux is only a distro from its devs for its devs and not from the community for the community. I wish you wouldn't add such a paragraph. Instead the ignorance of some devs should be removed. That was the better way. > And Heiko, I'm not sure why you're making a big fuss over these > packages.

That's why I was looking for a binary distro in the style of Gentoo. That's why I came to Arch Linux 3 or 4 years ago. And the more small packages need to be compiled from AUR the more time it takes compiling them. Many a little makes a mickle. My main problems are this mass cleanup and the ignorant responses I get from some devs to such remarks or to some bug reports etc. That's why I make such a fuss. Heiko
