DeveloperWiki:Repo Cleanup

Extra Package cleanup
Goals and ideas
- A cleanup of the extra repository
- Currently we have over 1300 orphans (counting for both arches) in extra.
- pkgstats suggests that many packages are barely used
- Reduce the packaging work load of the developers
- Minimise the number of apps per task.
- TUs are easier to appoint and find, it makes sense to move some of the workload to the community repo
- Games should all go to community (except those that come with KDE and gnome)
List of removal candidates based on pkgstats
NB: See also User:Allan/Extra_Repo_and_Pkgstats (Should be merged with the following table)
Note: there are a few mega-groups of packages in the below list. These include kde-l10n-*, koffice-l10n-*, fortune-mod-*, several mono packages, texlive-*, and xpdf-* (l10n packages).

Cleanup proposals (vote-based)
CHECK WHERE THE PACKAGE IS GOING BEFORE MARKING UP/DOWN
Please increment the last two columns as an unofficial "vote" mechanism
| Package | New location | Reason for move | Yes, move it! | Wait, I like it! |
| achessclock | unsupported | home page disappeared, no source found | 2 | 0 |
| bitlbee | community | orphaned and out of date in [extra], a TU could maintain it | 3 | 1 |
| bittorrent | community | better alternatives | 16 | 3 |
| firestarter | community | low usage | 12 | 2 |
| *fonts | community | desktop related, unless bitmap fonts (terminus) | 21 | 4 |
| fte | unsupported | yet another text editor | 4 | 0 |
| *games* | community (arch-games?) | except DE games | 24 | 1 |
| gnash-kde | unsupported | might be of no use because I doubt konqueror4 can load kde3 plugins, see https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?22104 | 2 | 0 |
| kdetv | unsupported | site is down and development has stopped | 2 | 0 |
| knetload | unsupported | old, dates from 2004. Maybe there is an equivalent in kde4. | 2 | 0 |
| libivusal-bmp | unsupported | page moved - See http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9026 for details | 2 | 0 |
| ogle | unsuported | undeveloped | 13 | 0 |
| r | community | outdate/ rather unused | 10 | 4 |
| windowmaker-extra | unsupported | should go along with wmmaker | 9 | 0 |
| wm* | unsupported | same reason | 8 | 0 |
Comment from codemac: don't remove R. It may be relatively low use/not a lot of updates.. but it's just like any older language (fortran, etc) that may not get a lot of use right now, but not having it is worse. R is extremely useful if you are in any kind of statistical job/school.
