We have a lot of packages in arbor currently that don't really belong there if we want to keep the idea that arbor should be for core/system-critical packages. A number of those are there largely for historical reasons and some are in arbor because they don't fit anywhere else. After talking with Bryan I ran through the list of packages in arbor and tried to flag those that could/should be moved somewhere else. In order to do this, we'd probably need a few new topic repositories to cover the areas of server-related packages (web, mail, etc), networking packages (nmap, tcpdump, ngrep, etc) and blagointersphereweb-packages (mutt, rtorrent, irssi, mcabber, etc).
There are probably several of the following packages that have perfectly good reasons to stay in arbor and there are probably additional packages in arbor that could be moved. Let us try to weed out those packages that should stay in arbor and figure out where the rest should go. We can always comb through arbor again at a later time. Once we (hopefully) reach an agreement (or when kloeri gives me the go) I'll start moving packages around like a mad sokoban and hopefully break a few user systems in the process. Remember that arbor should be mostly self-contained and that it should be possibly to install a system purely from arbor (unless installing your system involves sacrificial rites, in which case you'd also need ::gnome) Here is the list: * app-antivirus/clamav * app-crypt/tinyca * app-text/calibre * app-text/convertlit * app-text/libspectre * app-text/pdfcrack * app-vim/gentoo-syntax * app-vim/vcscommand * dev-lang/php * dev-perl/Array-Compare * dev-perl/Cairo * dev-perl/Error * dev-perl/ExtUtils-Depends * dev-perl/ExtUtils-PkgConfig * dev-perl/Glib-Perl * dev-perl/Gtk2-Perl * dev-perl/IO-Socket-SSL * dev-perl/MIME-Base64 * dev-perl/Net-SSLeay * dev-perl/Pod-Parser * dev-perl/Test-Warn * games-misc/fortune-mod * mail-client/mutt * mail-filter/procmail * mail-mta/exim * mail-mta/postfix * mail-mta/sendmail * media-gfx/GraphicsMagick ? media-gfx/ImageMagick ? media-libs/jasper ? media-libs/libfpx ? media-libs/libmng * net/aiccu * net-analyzer/traceroute * net-analyzer/wireshark * net-apps/vpnc * net-dns/bind ? net-dns/c-ares * net-dns/ddclient * net-dns/idnkit ? net-dns/libidn * net-firewall/fwbuilder * net-firewall/libfwbuilder * net-fs/nfs-utils ? net-fs/samba * net-ftp/ncftp * net-im/mcabber * net-irc/irssi * net-libs/GeoIP ? net-libs/cyrus-sasl * net-libs/libotr * net-libs/libsmi * net-libs/ortp * net-mail/cyrus-imapd * net-mail/dovecot * net-mail/dovecot-sieve * net-mail/fetchmail * net-misc/bridge-utils * net-misc/keychain * net-misc/oidentd * net-misc/openvpn * net-misc/sock * net-misc/telnet * net-misc/whois * net-nds/portmap * net-nntp/suck * net-p2p/libtorrent * net-p2p/rtorrent ? net-print/cups * net-print/hal-cups-utils * net-print/hplip * net-proxy/squid * net-scanner/nmap * net-wireless/crda * net-wireless/wireless-regdb * net-wireless/wirelesstools * net-wireless/wpasupplicant ? sys-apps/bc ? sys-process/htop ? virtual/mta * www-servers/apache * www-servers/lighttpd Feel free to call me a moron and explain why it's obvious that package foobar should stay in arbor and feel free to figure out some better topic repos than those I came up with on a whim. -- Anders
