Re: [arch-dev-public] Package group between repositories
Then if it's okay, I would like to add the following [community] packages to groups based on upstream sources: - gnome-boxes (gnome) - gnome-multi-writer (gnome-extra) - gnome-recipes (gnome-extra) - gnome-software (gnome) - parole (xfce4-goodies) - simple-scan (gnome) -- György Balló Trusted User

The latter also applies to regular dependencies these days as it's more practical to have a dependency maintained by a TU than left rotten in [extra]. At least that's my view on it. BP
[arch-dev-public] Package group between repositories
Currently the 'xfce4-goodies' package group[1] is in split between [extra] and [community]. Most of its packages are in [extra], but 'ristretto' and 'xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin' are in [community]. My question is: is it okay, or should we avoid it by removing these two packages from the 'xfce4-goodies' group or moving them to [extra]?
