Excuse me for asking but is there anything preventing you from moving
cairo-xcb to community if you become a TU?
Yes, us.
As far as i know if you become a TU you can maintain anything you want
that has more than 10 votes in the AUR.
Becoming a TU means that you become a member in the developement team, a
team in which we trust each other, respect each other decisions, use the
same packaging standards, the same tools as developers etc.
If you are just going to ignore and say, screw Jan decisions, I'm going
to upload it just because I can, you are not welcomed in the team.
In the past theres been many patched beyond recongnition packages in
community eg. many packages with lcd patches from ubuntu, urxvt with 256
colour support and many other patches included etc.
Do a list with the current packages that doesn't follow the arch way and
i will take care of them.
AFAIK the reason awesome was removed from community was that JGC removed
the cairo backend from the package in extra AND the awesome maintainer
didnt want to maintain a cairo-xcb package himself.
If he did awesome would still be in community...
He respected the decision and trusted Jan because we are a team and we
have to work together to accomplish a goal.
